Court Ruling Details
Key Facts
- Court granted BAC's motion to dismiss all four counts (breach of contract, implied covenant, wrongful dishonor, negligence) without prejudice.
- Plaintiff's claims arose from BAC's closure of his personal deposit account; court found plaintiff had standing but failed to identify a specific breached contract provision or allege bad faith.
