Heading: Afterword: Other Triable Issues Exist

Text: Before concluding, other triable issues of material fact should be noted. For example, McCullough alleges that it did not receive adequate notice of the assignment; the Bank disagrees. Disposition of this legal issue requires disposition of various factual sub-issues: (1) What type of information about the assignment did the Bank provide McCullough via telephone? (2) Would a reasonable, prudent individual have understood this information which the Bank alleges should have sufficed to place McCullough on notice of the assignment? and (3) Did the Bank demand, as alleged, that any future payments of contractual proceeds be made only to the Bank? A Florida appellate court similarly concluded that summary judgment was improperly rendered since a factual issue existed as to whether the account-debtor acquired actual notice of the assignment. See Capital City Second Nat'l Bank v. Peavy & Son Constr. Co., 585 So.2d 1123, 1123-24 (Fla. App. 1991). An Illinois appellate court also concluded that the issue regarding the reasonableness of the notice must be determined by the particular facts of each case and, therefore, summary judgment is an inappropriate vehicle for disposition. See Municipal Trust & Sav'gs Bank v. Grant Park Community Dist. Number 6, 171 Ill. App.3d 289, 121 Ill.Dec. 449, 452, 525 N.E.2d 255, 258 (1988); see also Costanzo v. Monico, 248 N.J. Super. 116, 590 A.2d 268, 270-71 (1991). Finally, the issue of consent, which McCullough raised in this case, may r equire disposition of material facts. See note 6, supra.
