Any Kind Checks Cashed, Inc. v. Talcott
According to the UCC, a holder in due course is a holder who takes an instrument for value in good faith and devoid of notice of assured claims, as well as defenses on the instrument.
It is imperative in the case of ‘Any Kind Checks Cashed, Inc. v. Talcott’ to determine if the holder of the instrument acted in good faith, in fair dealing as is compulsory in order to be considered the holder in due course. According to the Commercial Law Article 3-103 (a) (4); good faith refers to sincerity or honesty in fact and the adherence to logical commercial standards of fair dealing (Twomey, D., & Jennings, M.). Apart from this, the court upholds the trial court finding that Any Kind did not act in good faith when cashing a check for $10,000. However, Any Kind had been in good faith in later on cashing one more check for $5,700. I agree that ‘Talcott’ was responsible for the $5,700 even despite the fact that he was illegally persuaded to issue a check (Legale .com). The procedures in place at Any Kind Checks Cashed, Inc.states that a supervisor that has the power as well as authority to approve checks over $2,000. However, the supervisor should have been more cautious due to the unusual amount of the check of $10,00.00.
When the second check of $5,700.00 was presented the check cashing company had been in contact with Talcott getting his verbal approval for cashing a check. As a result, Any Kind Check Cashed Inc. satisfied the good faith prerequisites for a holder in due course.
In reviewing if, the tellers actions where in accordance with good faith and acted reasonable within the commercial standards for accepting and processing the check. The fact is that the clerk did take action and question the intent of the check of $10,000.00 by calling the maker of the check Mr. Talcott, but

    The next day and over the course of a month Fiore had people to make efforts from Nevada to show that the money was indeed legit and have not been earned illegally. The petitioner helped draft an affidavit to show probable cause for forfeiture of the funds. Fiore filed a lawsuit against Walden in the district court of Nevada saying Walden had no probable cause to search and seize the money and for him keeping the money even why he found out that the money was indeed legit. The District Court granted Walden motion to dismiss the case because Nevada had no jurisdiction over the case, for the seizer of the money took place in Georgia. During the appeal a divided panel ended up coming to the verdict that the search and seizer of the money could not support Nevada jurisdiction, however the Nevada had jurisdiction over the alleged false affidavit for knowing it would be a significant connection o Nevada also that delaying the funds would cause foreseeable harm which made this jurisdiction…

    Glenn A. Page was friend for a long time of Jerry Sellers, an owner of Gulf Coast Motors. Glenn began borrowing money from Gulf Coast Motors on a regular basis for two years. There was no formal loan process. Glenn would sign a ledger where it was written “I agree to pay Jerry Sellers as above”. Glenn made some small payments towards his account attempting to reduce or pay the balance. At the time the money was borrowed Glenn was not working so he had not assets in his own name. Gathered evidence showed that Glenn had a gambling issue. Sellers testified that at the end of the two year period, Mary R. Page, Glenn’s wife orally guaranteed to repay Glenn’s loans.

    Our procedures will include tests of documentary evidence supporting the transactions recorded in the accounts, tests of the physical existence of inventories, and direct confirmation of receivables and payables and certain other assets and liabilities by correspondence with selected customers, creditors, and financial institutions. Also, we will plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. Because an audit is designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance and because we will not perform a detailed examination of all transactions, there is a risk that material errors, fraud, or illegal acts, may exist and not be detected by us. In addition, an audit is not designed to detect immaterial errors, fraud, or other illegal acts or illegal acts that…

    The court reasoned that OCGA ß 11-3-403 is the applicable statue in this case, but there are different versions of OCGA ß 11-3-403. The 1995 version was interpreted in Kolodkin v. Cohen where the court found that an individual signing a check drawn on a business account could be personally liable if the check was not honored by the bank. The 1996 version [OCGA ß 11-3-402(c)] was interpreted by Peterson where the court held that an individual signing a check drawn on a business account is not personally liable if the check is not honored by the bank.…
