BUS 118 – Geraldine’s car has been illegally repossessed in Texas by the Baker Bank
January 1st, 2018
Geraldine’s car has been illegally repossessed in Texas by the Baker Bank, a federally chartered national bank located in the State of Tennessee. The National Bank Act requires that suits against national banks be brought in the county in which the bank is located. Geraldine sued the bank in Texas, and it moved to dismiss, contending that the suit could not be brought in Texas. Should the court grant or deny this motion? Why?
