No. 31S05-9505-CV-500.

659 N.E.2d 1031 (1995)

PARKE STATE BANK, Appellant, v. Ardith L. AKERS, Appellee.

Supreme Court of Indiana.

Rehearing Denied May 22, 1996.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Norman L. Lowery, Wright, Shagley & Lowery, Terre Haute, for appellant.

Terry E. Harris, Young, Harris & Harvey, Crawfordsville, for appellee.


ON PETITION TO TRANSFER

SELBY, Justice.

Parke State Bank, in violation of a safe deposit box rental contract, permitted unauthorized access to a jointly held safe deposit box. Jointly held certificates of deposit were removed, and endorsed by one joint owner. We find that the co-owner had a legally cognizable interest in the certificates of deposit, and that the Bank's breach of contract deprived her of this interest. We affirm the trial court.
