In the case Hoida, Inc. v. M&I Midstate Bank, what did the court rule in regard to the subcontractors claim that a lender had a duty to shield them from the contractor’s misconduct?

What will be an ideal response?


A Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled that construction lenders do not breach a
common law duty of care by making disbursements, authorized by the
owner, without first verifying that the subcontractors had been paid. The
court feared that imposing such a duty would place too great an
administrative responsibility on the lenders and this would violate the
public policy of the mechanics’ lien act.
