WOODCOCK v. FIRST COMMERCIAL BANK

No. 84-199.

683 S.W.2d 605 (1985)

C. Wesley WOODCOCK, et ux., Appellants, v. FIRST COMMERCIAL BANK, Appellee.

Supreme Court of Arkansas.

February 4, 1985.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Richard J. Orintas, Little Rock, for appellants.

Friday, Eldredge & Clark by Meredith P. Catlett, Little Rock, for appellee.


PURTLE, Justice.

The trial court held that the liability of a bank, on failure to timely answer a writ of garnishment, was limited by the provisions of Ark.Stat.Ann. § 31-507 (Repl.1962) and that the foregoing statute limited liability to an amount not exceeding that which the bank would have been liable for up until the time of the answer. We think the trial court properly interpreted the statute and appellants' arguments for reversal must fail.
