Payment made by bank on company cheque was retrospectively void by s182/s184(2); bank reimbursed liquidators under threat thereby discharging defendant's primary liability and is entitled to recoup; alternatively failure of consideration (no effective discharge of company obligation) gives bank a direct money had and received claim against the payee; no proven mistake of law by bank prevented recovery.
