Luikart v. Timmermans
Luikart v. Timmermans
Opinion of the Court
This is the second case argued in a series of cases quite similar in general facts and applicable rules of law, where Citizens Bank of Stuart, when insolvent, turned over assets to depositors, and the receiver sued to recover the assets so paid. The bank was turned over by its officers to the department of trade and commerce on December 1, 1930.
The evidence shows that defendant Mrs. Joseph Timmermans (Josephine Timmermans) held a certificate of deposit against the bank for $2,500, dated February 25,
The evidence further shows that on or about November 29, 1930 (some of the bank entries were made December 1, 1930), defendants surrendered the above described certificate of deposit, and in consideration therefor the bank assigned to them the above described assets of the bank and paid them $166.79 in cash. Defendants had collected the school district warrants before the trial.
The court found generally for the plaintiff, adjudged the transfers void, and ordered them set aside, rendering personal judgment against defendants on account of their inability to restore the collected school warrants, and allowed defendants a claim as general depositors.
The case is ruled by the principles announced in the opinion in Luikart v. Hunt, ante, p. 642. No further discussion is needed.
The judgment of the district court is
Affirmed.
