Because Wells Fargo made payment on the cashier's check to CA Houston,an entity that was not entitled to enforce the instrument,Wells Fargo was liable for conversion under section 3-420.Wells Fargo accepted and processed the cashier's check even though it had not been indorsed by the Lateefs.When Wahab deposited the cashier's check into CA Houston's account,Wells Fargo should have first required the Lateefs' indorsement.
