Syllabus

Appellant mistakenly gave appellee a cashier's check to which appellee was not legally entitled. Nonetheless, appellant was not justified in later exercising a right of setoff or self-help by debiting appellee's bank account, into which the funds had been deposited. However, appellee failed to present any evidence concerning her detrimental reliance on appellant's mistake or any damages that ensued. Therefore, the trial court erred in granting judgment on the pleadings with respect to appellee's damages. Judgment affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded for further proceedings relating to damages. (Froelich, J., concurring.)
