Title 11, Chapter 8, Section 507
( 11-8-507)
Duty of securities intermediary to comply with entitlement order. (a) A securities intermediary shall comply with an entitlement order
if the entitlement order is originated by the appropriate person,
the securities intermediary has had reasonable opportunity to assure
itself that the entitlement order is genuine and authorized, and the
securities intermediary has had reasonable opportunity to comply
with the entitlement order. A securities intermediary satisfies the
duty if: (1) The securities intermediary acts with respect to the duty as
agreed upon by the entitlement holder and the securities
intermediary; or (2) In the absence of agreement, the securities intermediary
exercises due care in accordance with reasonable commercial
standards to comply with the entitlement order. (b) If a securities intermediary transfers a financial asset
pursuant to an ineffective entitlement order, the securities
intermediary shall reestablish a security entitlement in favor of
the person entitled to it, and pay or credit any payments or
distributions that the person did not receive as a result of the
wrongful transfer. If the securities intermediary does not
reestablish a security entitlement, the securities intermediary is
liable to the entitlement holder for damages. |
