In a desperate attempt to stop salespeople going, “hey legal eagles, can you read this email for me”, and to counterpoint lackadaisical credit officers saying, “the question of whether we have credit risk to that bank account is a legal question on which I can’t opine”[1] we are running a snagging list of legal concepts no banker in her right mind should be able to plead ignorance.
Stuff you should know, banker’s edition, then:
- How agency works and why you can’t be agent for yourself
- The nature of cash and indebtedness
- Offer, acceptance and consideration
- How set-off works, and more particularly, when it doesn’t. Why you can’t set off debts owed by different counterparties.
