Contractor Payments to Sub Seized By Bank


When a prime contractor made payments to a subcontractor through deposits into a general deposit bank account, the prime had no recourse against the bank when the bank seized the account as security against a business loan to the sub. Even if the account included funds owed to lower-tier subcontractors and suppliers on the prime contractor’s projects, the prime had no contract with the bank, was not a fiduciary of the lower-tier parties, and had not obtained an assignment of their rights against the bank.
