Legislator summary

AI generated

The court held that a member of a savings bank's board is not disqualified from participating in the hearing of a case where the bank is a party. This ruling also applies to a deputy board member who has not attended the board meeting or replaced a permanent member. Consequently, the objection regarding the member's impartiality was rejected as the law does not require such disqualification.
