The Law Firm of Fox and Fox v. Chase Bank

Holding

The court held that Chase Bank owed a duty of care to the Law Firm of Fox and Fox as an intended beneficiary of the probate‑court‑ordered blocked account, and that genuine issues of fact existed as to whether Chase breached that duty and whether the breach was the proximate cause of the Law Firm’s economic loss; consequently, the trial court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of Chase was reversed. ---
