Payment Systems: Being a Holder in Due Course: Personal Defenses Podcast

This podcast will introduce you to the protection afforded a holder in due course from defenses to payment arising from personal defenses. As holder in due course doctrine arises under Article 3 of the Uniform Commercial Code, this topic deals with instruments, typically paper checks and promissory notes. Importantly, holders in due course doctrine, especially the benefits, are tested by a number of states on the bar examination. This podcast primarily addresses defenses set forth in § 3-305, which you should read carefully.
