Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A holder in due course is a person who takes a negotiable instrument, such as a check, for value, in good faith, and without notice of any defects in the instrument or claims against it. If someone forges a check and it is subsequently passed to a holder in due course who is unaware of the forgery, the forger can still be held personally liable for payment to the holder in due course.
