Where appellant did not provide a transcript of the in-chambers hearing and has not reconstructed the statements through App.R. 9, his claim that the trial court was biased against him and erroneously relied upon the assertions of defense counsel must fail. Review of the existing record belies appellants claim that the trial court was biased against him. Trial court may, within the proper exercise of its discretion, caution appellant on the perils of maintaining a civil lawsuit as a pro se litigant. Agreement at issue does not contain an unconditional promise to pay a fixed amount of money, it requires actions other than the payment of money and is not payable to bearer or to order so it is not a negotiable instrument under R.C. 1303.03(A). Appellants claim that the trial court di...

Trial court did not err by revoking community control and imposing a previously suspended $10,000 fine on a property owner who failed to connect her property to a public sanitary sewer system, in violation of R.C. 3709.21 and 3709.99, and Wood County Health District Household Sewage Treatment and Disposal Regulations 612.171 and 612.172. Property owner did not make a good faith effort to comply with state and local regulations by offering to pay a contractor with a non-negotiable International Bill of Exchange instead of cash or another negotiable instrument.

The trial court erred in refusing to apply the three-year statute of limitations in R.C. 1303.16(G)(3) to a claim for contribution arising from one party’s payment of obligations on a negotiable instrument. The trial court concluded that the claim arose in equity and must be prosecuted within a reasonable time. However, while the Uniform Commercial Code does not displace the common law, the UCC provides the exclusive remedy where the dispute is governed by its statutory provisions. Because R.C. 1303.14 and R.C. 3103.16 provide a right of contribution in the context of negotiable instruments and a limitations period for enforcement of that right, the trial court should have applied the limitations period in R.C. 1303.16(G)(3). Reversed and Remanded.

The vast majority of foreign companies choose to cross-list in the US, using the American Depositary Receipt (ADR) program. An ADR is a negotiable instrument representing an ownership interest in securities of a non-US company. Issuing Level II or Level III ADRs entail full compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX). Because SOX does not distinguish between US and non-US issuers, and does not exempt non-US issuers from its reach, the provisions that apply to US issuers also apply to non-US issuers unless they are specifically excluded by a related provision of the Exchange Act or the Securities Act. Over time, the SEC has had to provide non-US issuers certain accommodations to take into account foreign laws and regulations. The SEC now allows nonmanagement employees to serve as audit comm...

The concept of negotiation in letter of credit practice and law has evolved from being an appendage of the law of negotiable instruments to an independent discipline that often alters basic assumptions of negotiable instruments law. From playing a central role in the letter of credit process, the draft or bill of exchange has become incidental and atrophied. Indeed, with respect to banks nominated in the letter of credit to "negotiate," negotiation can occur without there being a draft or bill of exchange. Nonetheless, negotiation, as used in letters of credit, is an important aspect of letter of credit practice, enabling it to serve as a means of trade facilitation and finance. The latest revision of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, UCP600, reflects the currenc...

Check 21 creates a new negotiable instrument called a substitute check that can be created from an electronic image. Depository institutions will be able to process checks electronically and, if necessary, create machine-readable substitute checks that will be the legal equivalent of the original check. By processing checks electronically, the substantial costs of handling, sorting and physically transporting checks will be minimized. Moreover processing items electronically will help depository institutions minimize losses by clearing items faster, allow the use of new technology to identify fraud and create the opportunity for new bank products and services. While Check 21 does not require depository institutions to process electronic images, all depositaries will be required to accep...
