Cecil i ndorsed the note to David who knew of the failure of consideration. Can David successfully collect from Ariel? a. No, because David knew the fail ure of consideration. b. No, although David acquired the rights of Cecil, a holder in due course and he was not a party to any illegality. c. Yes, because David acquired the note for consideration. d. No, becuase David is not a holder in due course. Answer: C Sec. 58 of Negotiable Instrument Law provides that in the hands of any holder other than the holder in due course, the negotiable instrument is subject to any defenses as if it were non-negotiable. But a holder who derives through a holder in due course and who i s not a party to any fraud or illegality affecting the instrument, has all the rights of such former holder in respect of all parties prior to the latter.

David, a holder in due course, may go against Ariel beacuse of Sec. 58. David acquired all the rights of  Cecil, a holder in due course. It is worth noting the David acquired the rights of Cecil because he was not a party to fraud; otherwise, he would be disqualified.

Payment Systems Topics: Negotiable Instruments (Definitions; Holder in Due Course Doctrine) Negotiable Instruments: Holder in Due Course Doctrine Question: A holder in due course takes an instrument free of which of the following defenses? (A) A defense that making the note was an ultra vires act nullifying the obligation of i ts corporate maker. (B) A defense that the maker was tricked into signing the note in the belief that the note was merely a receipt and not a promissory obligati on. (C) A defense that the obligation of the note was discharged by a bankruptcy court. (D) A defense that the note is voidable at the option of the maker because its making was induced by duress. Answer: Answer (D) is the correct answer. The holder in due course doctrine will strip away a defense of duress unless, under applicable law, the defense makes an obligation entirely null and void. §§ 3-305(a)(1)(ii) & cmt. 1; 3-305(b). The defense described in Answer (D) makes the obligation merely voidable, and not void. The d efense therefore is stripped away. Answer (A) is incorrect. The holder in due course doctrine does not strip away a defense that the making of a note was an ultra vires act of a corporation if the defense renders the obligation completely null. §§ 3-305(a)(1)(ii) & cmt. 1; 3-305(b). Answer (B) is incorrect. A defense that the making of a note was induced by this particular kind of fraud -- often called real fraud or fraud in the factum -- is not stripped away by the holder in due course doctrine. §§ 3-305(a)(1)(iii) & cmt. 1; 3-305(b). Answer (C) is incorrect. A defense based on discharge in bankruptcy is not stripped away. §§ 3-305(a)(1)(iv); 3-305(b).

Negotiable Instruments: Definitions; Basic Principles Question:

Lucy buys a new car from Dealer on credit. At Dealer's request, Lucy signs a negotiable promissory note in which she promises to make monthly payments to Dealer. Under UCC Article 3, Lucy's signature on the note makes her a(n) (A) drawer. (B) maker. (C) accommodation party. (D) borrower. Answer: Answer (B) is the correct answer. As Lucy is executing a note in which she is promising to make payments, she fits the definition of "maker" at section 3-103(a)(7): "a person who signs or is identified in a note as a person undertaking to pay." Answer (A) is incorrect. Lucy is not a "drawer" under section 3-103(a)(5) because she executed a note, rather than a draft (e.g., a check). Answer (C) is incorrect. Lucy is not an "accommodation party" under section 3-419(a) because she is the direct beneficiary of the value given for the note - the new car. An "accommodation party" cannot be the direct beneficiary of the value given for the n ote. Answer (D) is incorrect. Lucy may be a "borrower" under the common understanding and use of that term, but that term is not defined by UCC Article 3

NEGOTIABLE INSTRUMENTS & BANKING Q1. Hypo: if I give a promissory note to my friend Jack in return for $50 and say that it will be payable subject to his sister going on a date with me, is the note still

negotiable? A1. Trick question! Yes, the note is negotiable. If payment of a note is conditioned on the happening of a certain event, however, this makes it non-negotiable. But here I said  to Jack that I would pay him only if his sister went out with me. This is a verbal statement! Thus, there is no written  evidence that my obligation to pay the note is conditional. Thus, my oral statement to Jack did not make the note non-negotiable. Q2.  Articulate what is meant by a qualified indorsement. What is the legal effect of  such an indorsement on the liability of the indorser? A2.  A transferor of a negotiable instrument gives a “qualified indorsement” when she signs her name and then writes “without recourse” below her signature. The effect of writing “without recourse” is that the indorser will not be liable to any future transferee should payment be refused on the negotiable instrument. Example: if a note is signed by five indorsers, and the third indorser signs “without recourse” she will not be liable to indorsers 4 and 5 if the note is later  dishonored i.e. if the maker or drawee refuses to pay. Indorsers 4 and 5 would have to seek payment from indorsers 1 and 2, assuming that they did not also sign the instrument “without recourse.”
