Fishkin Lucks Prevails Against UCC Claims in Supreme Court of New York

Fishkin Lucks prevailed today in the Supreme Court of New York (Bronx County). Following hearing, the Court granted the Firm’s motion to dismiss plaintiff’s action alleging that our client, an international banking institution, was negligent and breached various provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code by making payments on checks bearing forged endorsements. We were able to persuade the Court that the “discovery rule” was inapplicable and that the statute of limitations barred all of plaintiff’s claims.
