In re Chopper Express, adv 14-01231, 10/29/2014
The Uniform Commercial Code ("UCC") preempts New Jersey common law conflicts with the UCC, and under the relevant provisions of the UCC the bank had notice of Nissan's claim to the funds prior to the time the deposit of the Debtor's check was honored by the Debtor's bank. As a result, the bank does not qualify for the bona fide payee defense and the funds must be returned to Nissan.
In re New Life, adv 13-1076, 12/3/2014
Judgment granted in favor of Defendants because facts demonstrate that there is no benefit to the estate from the avoidance of the alleged fraudulent transfers, and therefore § 550(a) is not satisfied.
