Executive Summary
The Appellate Division of the New York Supreme Court upheld a lower court ruling that TD Bank, N.A. must recognize the governing bodies of Darwish Auto Group, LLC and Darwish General Corp. as the legitimate managers of dealership accounts, rejecting claims by individual defendant Walid Darwish that he had unilateral control. The ruling affirms that TD Bank must follow directives from the management committees, not Darwish alone, in handling account access and dealership sale authorizations.
