Docket entry

032444 Halifax Corporation v. Wachovia Bank 11/05/2004 In a case seeking to impose liability upon a bank relating to embezzlement of an account holder's corporate funds by its own comptroller, the trial court did not err in granting summary judgment for the defendant bank because Code § 8.3A-406 does not create an affirmative cause of action, the plaintiff's common law claim for conversion has been displaced by Code § 8.3A-420(a), and plaintiff failed to allege sufficient facts to state a cause of action for aiding and abetting the embezzler's breach of fiduciary duty, assuming such an action exists. The judgment is affirmed.
