Tulips Investments, LLC, Petitioner v. State of Colorado ex rel. John W. Suthers

Summary

The court held that Colorado courts have subject matter jurisdiction and statutory authority to enforce an administrative investigatory subpoena issued under the Uniform Consumer Credit Code against a nonresident alleged to have conducted regulated lending business in Colorado. The court concluded that the Code's provisions concerning out-of-state records and judicial enforcement created a special statutory procedure not governed by the territorial service limits applicable to civil subpoenas. It affirmed the court of appeals and remanded for further proceedings.
