Therefore, this 2007 Supreme Court decree supersedes a ruling by the Supreme Court made on November 18, 1964, that, when there has been more than one loan made to a borrower, “the lender may only demand that the borrower pay back the principal, not anything recognized as an ‘overpayment.’”   Thus, it seems likely that litigation by borrowers for reimbursement of overpayment against moneylenders will gradually wane. However, in the future, the problem of appropriate amounts of reimbursement―that is, how much the principal is and how much more money besides the principal should be paid back by the debtor (including debts paid back to financial institutions), will become increasingly complex and might lead again to litigation. If this happens, the Supreme Court will have to expand on and further develop the judgment the Supreme Court made on November 18, 1964.}, pages = {41--56}, title = {過払金の充当問題}, volume = {29}, year = {2017}, yomi = {キムラ, ユウジ} }
