Facts of the Case
Background
The plaintiff bank claimed payment of US$32,501.28 plus interest from the defendants under a composite banking facility agreement of 8 March 2010. The defendants argued the debt had been settled by a PTA offshore facility and disputed the interest calculations. The court found the PTA facility was merely a funding source that reverted to the original agreement when the defendants defaulted.
