Turn your knowledge of check law into investigative skill! In this hands-on session, you’ll join a two-bank task force to unravel “The Case of the Vanishing Check,” a real-world scenario where duplicate images, counterfeit creation, and late returns collide. As the mystery unfolds, you’ll apply the UCC, Regulation CC, ECCHO Rules, and Federal Reserve Operating Circular 3 to determine who owes whom—and why. 

Through collaborative evidence review and guided discussion, participants will: 

• Analyze presentment and transfer warranties, indemnities, and return deadlines. 

• Distinguish between altered, counterfeit, and duplicated checks—and understand how each changes liability. 

• Apply holder-in-due-course and PETE concepts to modern clearing environments. 

• Evaluate adjustment options and draft a breach-of-warranty “verdict.”
