Dennis F. Kelly 503-00785


Appellant C ounsel/ Area of Law


Lawrence J. Quinn, Esq. 410-752-9700


Banking Regulations/ Negligence


Judge/ Jurisdiction Judge Not Listed Montgomery County Issues


In this case, a bank sued an individual depositor as a result of damages incurred due to alleged overdrawing of his personal-checking account. The depositor counterclaimed as a result of the bank’s alleged mishandling of the account of a limited-liability company of which the individual de- positor was a member. The case was tried to a jury, and the jury returned a verdict in favor of the depositor, awarding him damages in the amount of $24,999.00. The bank appeals, arguing that the individual account


holder did not have standing to assert the counterclaim, because the account holder in connection with the coun- terclaim was the limited-liability company. Although the individual was a member of the limited-liability company, the bank claims that the counterclaim should have been asserted in the name of the LLC rather than by the indi- vidual.
