This note improves two previous results of the second author. They turn out to be special cases of our main theorem which states: A Banach space X has the property that the strong closure of every abstractly σ-complete Boolean algebra of projections in X is Bade complete if and only if X does not contain a copy of the sequence space ℓ∞.
