Represented ING Bank in Dutch Supreme Court proceedings to clarify the question: under what circumstances can the bank set off payments, which come into a borrower's account, against granted credit in case of a rescue attempt followed by insolvency? The Supreme Court clarifies when good faith required for set-off is present and formulates the principle that a bank that has good reason to believe that a rescue attempt has a real chance of success is acting in good faith. The guidance provided by the Supreme Court's judgment is of great importance for banking practice.
