New York Court of Appeals
Orville Oddie, Respondents v. the National City Bank of New York, Appellant
June 6, 187145 N.Y. 735
Summary
The Court affirmed the lower court, holding that the bank was liable for a check it accepted as a deposit even though the drawer's account was overdrawn, because the bank’s acceptance created a binding obligation and estopped the bank from denying receipt.
