Abstract

In Glass v. Nebraska State Bank, the court found that the plaintiff’s deposit was a general deposit creating the relation of debtor-creditor between the bank and depositor. By virtue of the agreement creating a general deposit, the bank could pay or transfer the funds on deposit only on the authorization of the depositor. The defendant bank could not prove that they had received any authorization of the depositor to transfer the funds on deposit, and therefore, the court held the bank liable for misapplication of funds.
