Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“While it appears clear that accepting a check when the payee's endorsement is missing is not in accordance with the reasonable commercial standards of banking and that the acceptance by a depositary bank of such a check for deposit is commercially unreasonable as a matter of law, 1 there is far less case law addressing who constitutes the payee when a check is made out to an individual in the care of an investment company. 2 Accordingly, we remand the issue of liability on the larger Putnam check to the circuit court for further proceedings.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“the question of whether Firstar acted in good faith or in accordance with reasonable commercial standards under Wis. Stat. § 403.419 (3)(1993-94) was a question of fact that would need to be tried”
