Mueller Company v. South Shore Bank

Court of Appeals for the First Circuit

Decided April 22, 1993No. 92-2145PublishedCited by 7 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

STAHL, Circuit Judge.

In this appeal, we must determine whether defendant-appellee South Shore Bank (“South Shore”) properly refused plaintiff-appellant Mueller Co.’s (“Mueller”) request for payment under a letter of credit. Because the documents accompanying Mueller’s request did not comply with the requirements of the letter of credit, we affirm the district court’s ruling that the dishonor was proper.
