§12A-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.
