Natal Bank Ltd v Van Blommestein and Another [1911] ZAWLD 42 (21 September 1911)

Banker - Principal and Agent - Action on Promise to Pay made to Manager of Bank as such - Mortgage - Capital Payable on Demand - Demand by Summons - Costs

Where a promise is made to pay a certain sum to the general manager of a bank, as the agent of the bank, the proper person to sue on the promise is the bank, and not the general manager personally
(Dell N.O. vs. Watson, 1 H.C.G. 392, discitssed and followed.)

Where the capital of a bond is payable on demand at any place a summons claiming the money is in itself a sufficient demand.
