O’Laughlin vs. Dollar Loan Ctr., LLC c/w 89215
Docket No. 87894 c/w 89215
Carson City – 2:30 p.m. – Full Court
This is an appeal from a district court order granting summary judgment and declaratory relief in favor of Respondent Dollar Loan Center, LLC, as well as a subsequent order awarding attorney fees. Dollar Loan Center sought judicial interpretation of NRS 604A.5057(2) by filing a declaratory relief action against the Nevada Department of Business and Industry, Financial Institutions Division in the district court. The principal issue on appeal is whether NRS 604A.5057(2) permits a lender to refinance an existing loan issued under that same subsection. In resolving that question, the parties dispute (1) whether judicial or collateral estoppel applies in light of this court’s prior decisions (2) whether, and to what extent, courts should defer to an agency’s interpretation of a statute; and (3) whether NRS 604A.5057 is ambiguous and, if so, how it should be construed. In the consolidated appeal, the court is also asked to determine whether the district court abused its discretion in awarding attorney fees, including whether NRS Chapter 233B precludes such an award and whether the FID’s defense was frivolous under NRS 18.010(2)(b).
