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.
