Practice question
A bank employee allows another person to sign a correction on a slip contrary to internal policy. The depositor claims an extra P100,000 was delivered, but the factfinder finds that delivery unproved on the whole evidence. The depositor says the policy breach conclusively proves the extra money. Which BPI v. Reyes distinction is correct?
- Any policy breach proves any amount alleged
- A deposit slip can never be examined
- A breach in correction procedure and actual delivery of disputed cash are separate evidentiary issues.
- Only the paper’s color matters
- The bank’s public-interest status eliminates the need for every fact
