Stated another way, an HDC can normally [blank_start]acquire[blank_end] a higher level of [blank_start]immunity[blank_end] than can an [blank_start]ordinary[blank_end] holder in regard to defenses against payment [blank_start]on[blank_end] the instrument or ownership claims [blank_start]to[blank_end] the instrument by other parties.

Frage 54

Frage
Although an [blank_start]executory[blank_end] promise (a promise to give [blank_start]value[blank_end] in the future) is clearly a valid consideration to [blank_start]support[blank_end] a contract, it does not [blank_start]constitute[blank_end] sufficient [blank_start]value[blank_end] to make the promisor an HDC.

Frage
What constitutes notice that an instrument is overdue depends on whether it is a demand instrument (payable on demand) or a [blank_start]time[blank_end] instrument (payable at a definite time). A purchaser has notice that a demand instrument is overdue if he or she either takes the instrument knowing that demand has been [blank_start]made[blank_end] or takes the instrument an [blank_start]unreasonable[blank_end] length of time after its [blank_start]date[blank_end]. For a check, a "[blank_start]reasonable[blank_end] time" is [blank_start]ninety[blank_end] [blank_start]days[blank_end] after the date of the check. For all other demand instruments, what will be considered a [blank_start]reasonable[blank_end] time depends on the circumstances [...].

Frage 63

Frage
An instrument is [blank_start]dishonored[blank_end] when the party to whom the instrument is [blank_start]presented[blank_end] refuses to pay it.

Antworten
  • dishonored
  • presented

Frage 64

Frage
A holder cannot become an HDC if he or she has notice of any claim to the instrument or defense against it [...]. Knowledge of claims or defenses can be [blank_start]imputed[blank_end] (attributed) to the purchaser if these claims or defenses are [blank_start]apparent[blank_end] on the face of the instrument or if the purchaser otherwise had reason to know of them from facts surrounding the transaction.

Frage 65

Frage
A purchaser cannot become an HDC of an instrument so incomplete [blank_start]on[blank_end] its [blank_start]face[blank_end] that an element of [blank_start]negotiability[blank_end] is lacking [...].

A person who does not [blank_start]qualify[blank_end] as an HDC but who [blank_start]derives[blank_end] his or her title [blank_start]through[blank_end] an HDC can acquire the rights and privileges of an HDC.

The [blank_start]shelter[blank_end] [blank_start]principle[blank_end] extends the benefits of an HDC status and is designed to [blank_start]aid[blank_end] the HDC in readily [blank_start]disposing[blank_end] [blank_start]of[blank_end] the instrument. Anyone, no matter how far [blank_start]removed[blank_end] from an HDC, who can ultimately [blank_start]trace[blank_end] her or his title back to an HDC comes within the [blank_start]shelter[blank_end] [blank_start]principle[blank_end].

Frage 71

Frage
Liability [blank_start]on[blank_end] a negotiable instrument can [blank_start]arise[blank_end] either from a person's signature on the instrument (signature liability) or from the [blank_start]warranties[blank_end] that are implied when the person [blank_start]presents[blank_end] the instrument [blank_start]for[blank_end] negotiation ([blank_start]warranty[blank_end] liability). A person who signs a negotiable instrument is potentially liable [blank_start]for[blank_end] payment of the amount stated [blank_start]on[blank_end] the instrument. Unlike signature liability, [blank_start]warranty[blank_end] liability does not require a signature and [blank_start]extends[blank_end] to both signers and nonsigners.

Antworten
  • contractual
  • contractually
  • representative

Frage 74

Frage
A person who is primarily liable on a negotiable instrument is [blank_start]absolutely[blank_end] required to pay the instrument—unless, of course, he or she has a valid defense [blank_start]to[blank_end] payment. Liability is immediate when the instrument is signed or issued. No action by the holder of the instrument is required. Only makers and [blank_start]acceptors[blank_end] of instruments are primarily liable [...].

Frage
Drawers and [blank_start]indorsers[blank_end] are [blank_start]secondarily[blank_end] liable. On a negotiable instrument, [blank_start]secondary[blank_end] liability is similar to the liability of a guarantor in a simple contract [...] in the sense that it is [blank_start]contingent[blank_end] liability. In other words, a [blank_start]drawer[blank_end] or an indorser will be liable only if the party that is [blank_start]primarily[blank_end] responsible for paying the instrument refuses to do so—that is, [blank_start]dishonors[blank_end] the instrument.

  • dishonors

Frage 78

Frage
On drafts and checks, a drawer's [blank_start]secondary[blank_end] liability does not arise until the drawee fails to pay or to [blank_start]accept[blank_end] the instrument, whichever is required. With regard to promissory notes, an indorser's [blank_start]secondary[blank_end] liability does not arise until the maker, who is primarily liable, has defaulted [blank_start]on[blank_end] the instrument [...].

[...] The [blank_start]party[blank_end] to whom the instrument must be [blank_start]presented[blank_end] depends on the type of instrument involved. A note or certificate of deposit (CD) must be [blank_start]presented[blank_end] to the maker for payment. A draft is [blank_start]presented[blank_end] to the drawee for acceptance, payment, or both.

Frage 81

Frage
Timeliness is important for proper [blank_start]presentment[blank_end]. [...] Failure to present an instrument [blank_start]on[blank_end] time is a common reason for [blank_start]improper[blank_end] presentment and can lead to unqualified indorsers being [blank_start]discharged[blank_end] from secondary liability.

If the party giving notice is a bank, it must give any necessary notice before its midnight deadline (midnight of the [blank_start]next[blank_end] banking day after receipt) [...].

Frage 87

Frage
An authorized agent may be held personally liable on a negotiable instrument in three situations. First, [...], if the agent signed the [blank_start]agent's[blank_end] own name on the instrument with no indication that she or he was signing as an agent, an HDC can hold the agent personally liable. Second, an agent may be held liable if the agent signed in both the agent's name and the principal's name but nothing on the instrument indicated the [blank_start]agency[blank_end] relationship. [...] The third situation in which an agent may be liable is when the agent indicates agency status in signing a negotiable instrument but fails to name the [blank_start]principal[blank_end] [...].
Antworten
  • agent's

Frage 89

Frage
Unauthorized signatures arise in two situations—when a person [blank_start]forges[blank_end] another person's name on a negotiable instrument and when an agent who lacks the [blank_start]authority[blank_end] signs an instrument on behalf of a principal. The general rule is that an unauthorized signature is wholly [blank_start]inoperative[blank_end] and will not bind the person whose name is signed or [blank_start]forged[blank_end].

Generally, when an indorsement is forged or unauthorized, the [blank_start]burden[blank_end] of [blank_start]loss[blank_end] falls [blank_start]on[blank_end] the first party to take the instrument with the forged or unauthorized indorsement. The reason for this general rule is that the first party to [blank_start]take[blank_end] an instrument is in the best [blank_start]position[blank_end] to prevent the [blank_start]loss[blank_end]. [...] This general rule has two important exceptions. These exceptions arise when an indorsement is made by an [blank_start]imposter[blank_end] or by a [blank_start]fictitious[blank_end] [blank_start]payee[blank_end].
