Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Corporation is a party to certain financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk such as commitments under standby letters of credit, unused portions of lines of credit, overdraft protection and commitments to fund new loans. In accordance with GAAP, these financial instruments are not recorded in the financial statements. The Corporation's policy is to record such instruments when funded. These transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate and liquidity risk. Such transactions are generally used by the Corporation to manage clients' requests for funding and other client needs. The following table lists the contractual amounts of financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 (in thousands):
| June 30, 2019 |  | December 31, 2018
| Fixed Rate |  | Variable Rate |  | Fixed Rate |  | Variable Rate
Commitments to make loans | $ | 16,122 |  |  | $ | 17,267 |  |  | $ | 9,137 |  |  | $ | 18,033 |
Unused lines of credit | 743 |  |  | 207,417 |  |  | 848 |  |  | 212,601 |
Standby letters of credit | — |  |  | 14,859 |  |  | — |  |  | 16,161 |
On June 15, 2018, the Bank, through mediation, reached a resolution by way of a settlement agreement in the matter of Fane v. Chemung Canal Trust Company (the “Action”). The parties agreed to release each other from any and all liabilities, claims, counterclaims, demands, charges, complaints and causes of action, to dismiss the Action with prejudice, and the Bank agreed to pay Fane $3.3 million in connection with the settlement of the Action. As of March 31, 2018, the Corporation had a legal reserve of $2.3 million for the Action and therefore recognized an additional $1.0 million of legal expense during the second quarter of 2018. In the normal course of business, there are various outstanding claims and legal proceedings involving the Corporation or its subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2019, we believe that we are not a party to any pending legal, arbitration, or regulatory proceedings that could have a material adverse impact on our financial results or liquidity.
