To constitute a customer, there must be somerecognisable course of habit of dealing in the nature ofregular banking business." The most important point thatestablishes relationship is "duration" according to SirJohn Paget: but it was ruled off in the case of Landbrokev. Todd of Justice Bailhache who declared that "In my
opinion a per-son becomes a customer of a bank whenhe goes to the bank with money or a cheque and asks tohave an account opened in his name, and the bankaccepts the money or cheque and is prepared to openan account in the name of that person: after that he is
entitled to be called a customer of the hank." He furtheradds. "I think such a person becomes a customer themoment the bank receives the money or cheque andagrees to open an account."

This was confirmed by the Privy Council whenLord Dunedin delivered the .judgement. It was
pointed out that the word 'Customer' signifies arelationship in which duration is not of theessence.
Therefore:
For a bank customer the habit of dealing is notessential.
Duration and frequency of operation in the accountdoes not effect the relationship / meaning ofcustomer.
