Holder for value of a disposited check

I discussed a "check disposit" in a previous post (see below or here). In this post we'll see how De Leon mixes up his letters again.

Here's from the same page 96 of the book The Law on Negotiable Instruments, 2013 Edition:

Bank W is the holder for value as it has in fact given value for the instrument when P withdrew all his "disposits" which included the amount of the check. Bank W will now have to clear the check with Bank E in order to get back the value it has given for the instrument.

Bank E, as the final destination of the check, will not be a holder for value as it will simply debit the account of the maker of the check. Unless the maker has also cleaned out his "disposit".

Check disposit

What do you do with a crossed check before you can encash it?

Here's from page 96 of De Leon's The Law on Negotiable Instruments, 2013 Edition:

Bailor and bailee: De Leon's version

In a previous post (see here) I asked whether De Leon was a student of Paras. I now believe more than ever, because de Leon made the same mistake as Paras in his discussion about bailor and bailee.

Here's from page 3 of de Leon's Comments and Cases on Credit Transactions, 2013 Edition:


As I said in another post (see here), Paras switched the Spanish translation of bailor and bailee.

Too bad because de Leon almost got it right in the footnote on the same page.
Commodans is Latin for bailor or lender while commodatarius is Latin for borrower.

Memory en route to the bar

From Civil Procedure (The Bar Lectures Series) Volume 1 by Riano, page 41:


"Route" memory is better than none for any examinations. I'd take it anytime especially the eidetic memory that  Mike Ross has in Suits. I think one can have eidetic memory and still be mechanical about it.
