Our Mission is to help make our clients successful.

As an attorney who handles UCC Section 3, 4, 4A claims and vari-ous other claims for banking cli-ents, I have been asked to revise many deposit agreements to better protect banks from claims

made by customers and to provide an update in the development of UCC case law. The following article is not intended to be specific legal advice. Plus, it is not intended to address all issues that could arise with UCC is-sues. Rather, this article is intended to identify particular issues I have recent-ly noticed in some UCC cases I have handled. This article is also intended to provide a spotlight on several of the issues I believe will be raised in the fu-ture regarding such issues. These are two of the cases I think that you might find of interest regarding vari-ous banking law issues. However, I also think future challenges will develop in the courts as new issues and banking products arise. Provided in this update are cases of concern to banks that have been decided over the last year or so. The following case confirming that American Airlines v. Martin still applies notwithstanding many creative plain-tiff’s counsel’s arguments. In Contractor’s Source, the bank customer sued the bank for various breach of contract, breach of war-ranty and tort claims. See Contractor’s Source v. Amegy Bank, 462 S.W.3d 128 Tex. App. – Houston (1st Dist.) 2015. Un-fortunately for the bank’s customer, a bad bookkeeper did various unauthor-ized transactions using the customer’s

bank account. The customer did not timely report the alleged unauthor-ized transactions and allowed them to occur over a period of time. The court granted a summary judgment, and the summary judgment was upheld on appeal. The court held that the repeat wrongdoer rule applied and that the unauthorized non-check transactions were “items” within the meaning of the UCC. The court also ruled that the customer’s common law negligence claim and breach of contract claim were precluded by the UCC. On a side note, the author argued the motion for summary judgment in the trial court. Another recent case of interest re-garding “made available” language under UCC § 4.406. More and more creative plain-tiff’s attorneys are trying to avoid the prompt reporting requirements of UCC § 4.406 and/or under a deposit agreement by claiming that monthly bank statements were never sent to the bank customer, the statements were intercepted by the purported fraudster and/or the bank customer is otherwise unable to report alleged un-

authorized transactions as they were not aware of same. In Kaplan, the court addressed the is-sue and the “made available” language in § 4.406. See 2999999.174/2305791.1 Kaplan v. JPMorgan Chase Bank, 2015WL 2358240, 86 UCC Rep. Serv. 2d 660 (Il-linois 2015). In the Kaplan case, the plaintiff argued that she had not seen account statements and this was why she waited over a year to report al-leged unauthorized disbursements. The bank confirmed that the account statements were available online going back for seven (7) years and the monthly statements were made available online each month. Plain-tiff claimed that she had problems using her online banking access but the court reasoned that plaintiff also could have obtained her account statements by going to her local branch by requesting them either in person or by phone. Thus, the court ultimately conclud-ed that the account statements were made available to plaintiff for the pur-poses of UCC § 4.406. c. Both of the referenced cases are available in whole online Q

Guaranty Bank & Trust to Acquire Second Denton Location

BANK FAILURESPA Bank Fails; Total YTD 3The Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities closed First CornerStone Bank, King of Prussia, on May 6, and appointed the FDIC receiv-er. The FDIC entered into a P&A agree-ment with First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company, Raleigh, NC, to assume all of the deposits.and to purchase es-sentially all of the assets of First Cor-nerStone Bank. As of March 31, 2016, First Corner-Stone Bank had approximately $103.3 million in total assets and $101 mil-lion in total deposits, and operated six branches which became branches of First-Citizens Bank & Trust Com-pany. The failure is the first in PA since 2014 and the third in the nation in 2016 Q

Guaranty Bancshares Inc., parent company of Guaranty Bank & Trust, N. A., (Guaranty), both of Mount Pleas-ant, on May 4 announced that Guar-anty has entered into an agreement to acquire a full-service location at 3101 Wind River Ln. in Denton from Inde-pendent Bank, McKinney. Independent Bank has operated the full-service banking location since

2010. As a part of this transaction, Guaranty will assume certain deposits and acquire all of the fixed assets of that location. Guaranty CEO Ty Abston said, “Denton represents a great market for Guaranty. We are excited about this opportunity to enlarge our banking footprint so soon after initially an-nouncing our expansion to Denton.

We have a great team in place to lead our efforts and introduce Guaranty’s banking model to the community.” Denton market president Jeremy Fykes, who joined Guaranty in De-cember 2015, stated, “This second location improves our ability to serve our customer’s banking needs in Den-ton.” Senior Vice President Debbie Irby will manage the Wind River loca-tion. Irby joined Guaranty in August 2015. The transaction, approved by the boards of directors for both compa-nies, is expected to close during the second quarter of 2016.
