Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
(1) 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:
(a) The securities intermediary acts with respect to the duty as
agreed upon by the entitlement holder and the securities intermediary; or
(b) In the absence of agreement, the securities intermediary
exercises due care in accordance with reasonable commercial
standards to comply with the entitlement order.
(2) 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.
