“The court case Hartsock et al. v. Rich’s employees credit union et al. takes about the “Uniform Commercial Code, expressly provides that an action for conversion of an instrument may not be brought by a payee or indorse who did not receive delivery of the instrument either directly or through delivery to an agent or a co-payee.” It explains why a payee to whom a check was never delivered has no action for conversion” (www.law.justia.com).

Decisions
The decision was that “Rich’s” was not at fault for the check being cashed by someone else and not by Singer. According to the case, there was no evidence to prove that Rich’s and Wachovia acted in concert with each other or with any other person or entity to accomplish an unlawful end or a lawful end by unlawful means. “The underlying tort of conversion is absent, and thus there can be no liability for conspiracy” (www.law.justia.com).

    Enacted by Congress in 1938, the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) established a 25 cent minimum wage, a 44 hour long work week, which was later revised in 1940 to only 40 hours per week, and prohibited child labor (Fair Labor Standards, n.d.).
