Cole v. First Nat. Bank of Tuskaloosa

Although it was not raised by the parties, there is a serious question presented in this case as to whether Cole has a claim for conversion against the bank, in light of the fact that the bank obtained the property by virtue of a court order. See, St.Regis Paper Co. v. Kerlin, 476 So.2d 64 (Ala. 1985); CitizensBank v. Mauldin, 476 So.2d 103 (Ala. 1985). However, because it has not been presented by the parties in this appeal, that issue is not ripe for decision.
