Plaintiff law firm filed negligence action against bank, alleging that it breached duty of ordinary care as to fraudulent check law firm deposited in its trust account and drew against, later found uncollectible. Court properly dismissed complaint on basis of Moorman doctrine precluding negligence action for solely economic loss; and as parties' account agreement and UCC place risk of loss on depositer until final settlement of check. (CARTER and McDADE, concurring.)
