Summary
The second of three out of a series of newspaper cuttings - miscellaneous items of interest to the family. L22 (b) A newspaper cutting from THE TIMES COURT OF APPEAL AN ALTERED CHEQUE: LIABILITY OF PAYING BANK SLINGSBY AND OTHERS v. DISTRICT BANK, LTD. Before LORD JUSTICE SCRUTTON, LORD JUSTICE GREER, and LORD JUSTICE ROMER The court delivered reserved judgments dismissing this appeal by the defendants, District Bank, Limited, from a decision of Mr. justice Wright in favour of the plaintiffs, the executors of a deceased person's estate. In the action (reported in 47 The Times L.R., 587; (1931) 2 K.B., 588) the plaintiffs claimed that they had been wrongly debited by the defendant bank with £5,000 in respect of a cheque drawn by them and fraudulently altered by a solicitor to whom it was entrusted.
