Key legal question
Whether the bank, as assignee of the bankruptcy estate's claims, could sue the directors for the company's loss.
Extracted holding
Yes. The bank acted on the estate's claim under the assignment mechanism and the damage was indirect for the bank but direct for the company.
Extracted reasoning
The creditor suffered only reflection damage from the company's insolvency. After cession of the estate's rights, the bank could pursue the corporate claim against the directors.
