Case Problem:
Jones drew a check for $1,000 on The First Bank and mailed it to the payee, Thrift, Inc. Caldwell stole the check from Thrift, Inc., chemically erased the name of the payee, and inserted the name of Henderson as payee. Caldwell also increased the amount of the check to $10,000 and, by using the name of Henderson, negotiated the check to Willis. Willis then took the check to The First Bank, obtained its certification on the check, and negotiated the check to Griffin, who deposited the check in The Second National Bank for collection. The Second National Bank forwarded the check to the Detroit Trust Company for collection from The First Bank, which honored the check. Griffin exhausted her account in The Second National Bank, and the account was closed. Shortly thereafter, The First Bank learned that it had paid an altered check. What are the rights of each of the parties?
