Cairo Coop. Exchange v. First Nat'l Bank of Cunningham
Cairo Coop. Exchange v. First Nat'l Bank of Cunningham
Opinion
The opinion of the court was delivered by
Appellee, The First National Bank of Cunningham, filed a motion for rehearing which we have considered and find it should be denied and the opinion clarified as to the amount of judgment to be awarded to Cairo Cooperative Exchange and modified as to prejudgment interest.
We held Cairo had proven a case of conversion and breach of express contract. The statutes of limitations for those two actions are two and five years respectively, K.S.A. 60-513 and 60-511. The judgment to Cairo is limited to the amount of those checks with restrictive indorsements honored by the bank within five years prior to filing the action and the award of prejudgment interest is reduced to the statutory amount of 6% per annum from the date of wrongful payment.
We adhere to the original opinion except as herein modified.
