U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 13-2184
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Joplin
[PUBLISHED] [Kelly, Author, with Murphy and Colloton, Circuit Judges]
Civil case. In action by insurer alleging the defendant bank had been
negligent in failing to determine whether an investment advisor had
authority to open a "d/b/a account" using the name of his employer, the
insured party under the insurance policy in question, the district court
did not err in dismissing the action on the ground the bank owed no
recognized duty to the employer.
