Usury Act 1660
The Usury Act 1660 is an Act of the Parliament of England (12 Car. II. c. 13) with the long title "An Act for restraining the taking of Excessive Usury".〔'Charles II, 1660: An Act for restraining the taking of Excessive Usury.', Statutes of the Realm: volume 5: 1628-80 (1819), pp. 236-37. URL: http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.asp?compid=47261. Date accessed: 07 March 2007.〕 The purpose of the Act was to reduce the interest rate from 8% to 6%. The legislation had been enacted in 1651 under the Commonwealth, but this Act was passed to confer legality on the measure following the Restoration of Charles II after the English Civil War. 〔'Book 1, Ch. 14: From the Restoration to the Fire', A New History of London: Including Westminster and Southwark (1773), pp. 210-30.
