Pagano v. United Jersey Bank
Supreme Court of New Jersey
Decided January 22, 1996PublishedCited by 16 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
The opinion of the Court was delivered by
COLEMAN, J.
The issue raised by this appeal is whether the common-law rebuttable presumption of payment after a lapse of twenty years should be applied to a passbook-savings account when the issuing bank has no record of the account and has never stamped or otherwise marked the passbook canceled or closed. The Appellate Division held that the presumption was inapplicable. Pagano v. United Jersey Bank, 276 N.J.Super. 489, 648 A.2d 269 (1994). We agree and affirm.
