HELPING A FRIEND?

At first glance the facts relate to two friends, and it is indeed this benevolent interpretation that has prevailed. It does not surprise that during the Middle Ages Vivianus sidestepped explanations on usury,[720] but it is a show of strength of the legal tradition that friendship continues to be mentioned in the interpretations of Koschaker,[721] Kaser[722] and Zimmermann.[723] This raises the question why the case of two ‘friends’, who do not have cash but are engaged in moneylending, keeps making the law reports.68
