James Knight, Petitioner v. International Harvester Credit Corporation, Respondents

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the repeal of Chapter 14 of the Consumer Credit Act terminated Knight's pending claim under that chapter because the statute lacked a savings clause, and that the Code Construction Act does not apply to preserve such claims. The Court also reversed the summary judgment on Knight's Chapter 7 and DTPA claims, finding the contract waiver provision violated Article 5069‑7.07(6) and that Knight qualifies as a consumer under the DTPA.
