A Michigan court has ruled against Comerica Bank and in favor of the bank’s customer, Experi-Metal, Inc., holding that the bank should have prevented fraudulent wire transfers from the customer’s account that totaled more than $1.9 million in wire transfer payment orders.

A complaint filed in December 2009 by a Michigan-based Experi-Metal Inc. alleges that the conduct of its bank, Dallas-based Comerica, caused the company to become the target and victim of a phishing attack.
