In sum,Forcht Bank failed its duty to exercise ordinary care to Gribbins when it honored eight forged checks drawn on her account.Under section 4-406(4),the bank bears the burden of presenting evidence that Gribbins's conduct contributed to its payment or injury from the payment of the forged checks.It cannot do so-Gribbins notified the bank about the forged checks even before the bank statement.Thus,the trial court properly granted summary judgment to Gribbins because there were no issues of material fact that would preclude it.
