In re Prescott, 805 F.2d 719, 727 (7th Cir.1986).

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15(b)(2) permits the amendment of a complaint during trial if “issues not raised by the pleadings are tried by express or implied consent.” The district court must determine “whether the opposing party had a fair opportunity to defend and whether he could have presented additional evidence had he known sooner the substance of the amendment.” In re Rivinius, Inc., 977 F.2d 1171, 1175 (7th Cir.1992) (quoting Matter of Prescott, 805 F.2d 719, 725…

See Prescott, 805 F.2d at 729 (“[i]f the deposit is accepted by the bank with an intent to apply it on a pre-existing claim against the depositor rather than to hold [it] subject to the depositor’s checks in ordinary course, ... the deposit is viewed legally as a transfer in payment of debt”) (citations and internal quotations omitted); Pereira v. Summit Bank, 2001 WL 563730 (S.D.N.Y.2001) (right of setoff does not apply when a deposit is accepted by a bank with an intent to…

Nevertheless, in Prescott, the Seventh Circuit expressly declared that “[s]ection 547(c)(4) establishes a subsequent advance rule whereby a preferential transfer is insulated from a trustee’s avoiding powers to the extent that a creditor extends new value, which is unsecured and re-mams unpaid.” Prescott, 805 F.2d at 728 (emphasis added) (citation omitted).

The theory underlying this “new value” (or “subsequent advance”) defense is that “to the extent new value is offered, the preference is repaid to the estate.” In re Prescott, 805 F.2d 719, 727 (7th Cir.1986); see also Kroh Bros.
