Problem 143 The issue is whether Johnson was discharged by the alteration of the check and what reply should the bank’s attorney make. UCC §§3-115, 3-407, 3-406, and 4-401(d), addressed the alteration of instruments, whether an instrument is properly payable, the issue of discharge, negligence of an altered instrument and the good faith rule. It also addressed which party is liable when an instrument is altered and when is the bank is responsible to re-credit an account. Specifically, for this issue, I will use UCC §4-401 (d): A bank that in good faith makes payment to a holder may charge the indicated account of its customer according to: (1) the original terms of the altered item; or (2) the terms of the completed item, even though the bank knows the item has been completed un- less the bank has notice that the completion was improper. Here, we see in the facts that George Johnson intended to make the check payable to Marmaduke Brown but could not remember to spell his name. Johnson, then just signed the check himself and forgot to sign Brown’s name to the check, which was then stolen and made out to Cash for $150. Johnson then argues that the check is altered and he is discharged, therefore, the bank should re-credit his account. According to UCC …show more content…
the bank has the right to clear the check to whoever he is the holder of the instrument at that time. The bank was still acting in good faith when they cleared the check because it can charge the indicated account according to the original terms of the altered item. Johnson wrote and signed the check, but didn’t specify that it was made out to Brown. Although, an alternation occurred when the check was change made to “cash” the bank is not liable to re-credit the account because it was acting in good faith when the check was

The attorneys failed to proffer any evidence in support of Solomon’s legal business enterprise, which he established with legal proceeds from the medical malpractice lawsuit. Furthermore, the attorneys never proffered any evidence on his behalf, which proved ownership, control, actual or constructive, or possession of the vehicles stopped by police. According to residents and property records, neither Johnson brother owned, occupied, possessed or control a property located at Oso. The property allegedly had $1,868,759 in cash and although such a very odd number, aside from questioning the veracity of the cash receipts, the indictment states that Mr. Solomon Johnson owned the vehicles, property, and currency.

U.S. Treasury SecretaryJacob Lew said, “Naming the Freedman’s Bank Building recognizes an institution that symbolized a new future for African Americans. The legacy of Freedman’s Bank also serves as a reminder that we must continue striving for greater financial inclusion for all Americans–particularly those in underserved and minority communities—so that they can share in the benefits of our growing economy.” Still, makes you wonder what would happen if somebody could find an old savings certificate and show that they never received their 62 percent. How much would that be worth today, with interest, or would Congress even honor it? Time to start digging through those old trunks in

Albert Johnson, Director of Compensation at Elite Financial Services, has some strategic decisions to make in an effort to decrease the costs of their current employer-sponsored health insurance plan. The company has not done much in the past to control the costs of healthcare, so employees are used to certain perks such as only paying 10% of the total costs of the health insurance premium, and low deductible and co-insurance expenses. Making changes to current benefits may be somewhat unsettling to employees, but there are times when it is necessary in order to drive costs down. Albert Johnson must find the proper balance between transferring some of the premium costs to the employees, and setting up wellness incentives to drive claim experience
