188 So. 2d 351 | Fla. Dist. Ct. App. | 1966
The appellant, garnishee in the trial court, seeks review of a final summary judgment.
The appellee was the judgment creditor of Mario Lamar and Sylvia B. Lamar, his wife.
The cashier’s checks, representing an “indebtedness”, should have been considered the same as cash by the garnishee. See: §§ 676.01, 676.50, 676.52, Fla.Stat., F.S.A.; Goshen Nat. Bank v. State, 141 N.Y. 379, 36 N.E. 316; Tarrant Wholesale Drug Co. v. Kendall, Tex.Civ.App.1949, 223 S.W.2d 964; 10 Am.Jur.2d, Banks, § 544. The condition subsequent, upon which they were delivered, had not occurred and therefore the funds represented by said checks were held for the benefit of the Lamars. The insurance company, as custodian of the -cashier’s checks, controlled the “indebtedness” represented thereby.
The final summary judgment here under •review is hereby affirmed.
Affirmed.
