Banker–customer relationship applies to overdrafts/loan facility letters; duty to disburse timely; breach for unjustified delay; proof of special damages requires audited/independent evidence; no contractual basis for waiver of overdraft without express term.

Bank guarantees as independent, enforceable security payable on demand; garnishee orders – attachment of operational bank accounts permissible absent stay; appeal pending or extension application does not suspend execution; competence of decree not re-opened in execution proceedings; struck-out appeal suffices to trigger guarantee.
