Few v. First National Bank
Court of Appeals of Georgia
1Opinion of the CourtBell, J.
1. Where a check properly indorsed is presented for payment to the bank on which it is drawn, and the drawer has at the time sufficient funds on deposit with the bank to meet the check and has given no instruction to the contrary, a refusal by the bank to pay the check will constitute an actionable wrong against the drawer, for which the drawer may recover damages.
