United States Ninth Circuit
Branch Banking and Trust Company v. DMSI LLC, 15-16933
Affirming summary judgments against debtors who failed to repay loans held by a bank because arguments about breaches of good faith and fair dealing were predicated on oral promises that do not constitute a contract, the bank had standing to sue, there was no detrimental reliance to support an estoppel defense, and summary judgment did not violate the Seventh Amendment because the claim was predominantly equitable.
