*267Judge Walker
concurring in part and dissenting in part.
I respectfully dissent from that part of the majority opinion which allows a credit of $779,879.30 to Chase Manhattan and First Union. The record reflects that the trial court carefully considered this matter before entering judgment for the plaintiff in the combined amount of $1,244,011.18 without interest. I disagree that the sum of $779,879.30, which plaintiff has already received in damages, is money which partly reimburses plaintiff for the “same injury” at issue in the case. The authority and reasoning for allowing the credit of $779,879.30 is unpersuasive and I would affirm the judgment of the trial court entered on 19 September 1997.
