Docket entry

051651 Schlegel v. Bank of America 04/21/2006 In litigation involving funds frozen by a receiving bank after transfer pursuant to unauthorized payment orders, Code § 8.4A-204(a) preempts certain common law claims relating to the unauthorized payment, but does not preempt common law claims relating to the subsequent freezing of the funds. Further, while the trial court did not err in awarding attorney's fees in the bank's related interpleader action, it abused its discretion in failing to limit the award to necessary and appropriate fees and in its apportionment of the award among the obligated parties. The judgment of the circuit court is affirmed in part and reversed in part.
