Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the validity of recovery suits filed by a private unaided school against students and their parents for unpaid fees. The trial court initially decreed the suits, with modifications reducing interest from 12% to 6%. The appellate court upheld these modifications. The Court's decision focused on the contractual obligations and the reasonableness of interest rates, emphasizing the importance of fair recovery practices in private educational institutions.
