Primary Text
Warranty where negotiation by delivery, and so forth.-
Every person negotiating an instrument by delivery or by a qualified indorsement warrants-
(a) That the instrument is genuine and in all respects what it purports to be;
(b) That he has a good title to it;
(c) That all prior parties had capacity to contract;
(d) That he has no knowledge of any fact which would impair the validity of the instrument or render it valueless.
But when the negotiation is by delivery only, the warranty extends in favor of no holder other than the immediate transferee.
The provisions of subdivision (c) of this section do not apply to persons negotiating public or corporation securities, other than bills and notes.
