Cooper v. Mercantile National Bank

Smith, Judge.

Cooper sued Mercantile National Bank, alleging misrepresentation by a bank officer in connection with a *137promissory note which Cooper executed. In a previous case, the bank sued Cooper on the note, won a recovery, and prevailed on appeal. Cooper v. Mercantile Nat. Bank, 137 Ga. App. 605 (224 SE2d 442) (1976). In the instant action, the trial court granted the bank’s motion for summary judgment, holding that the action is barred by res judicata and collateral estoppel. Cooper contests that conclusion, but we affirm.
