The Court of Appeal dismissed the plaintiff's appeal against the lower court's decision to suspend civil proceedings. The lower court suspended the case because the civil dispute depended on the outcome of an ongoing criminal investigation against the defendant bank employee. The appellate court upheld this suspension, ruling that the criminal trial's findings on fraud and document forgery are essential to determine civil liability.
