p0553 REVIEW DENIED The Commercial Code's one year statute of limitations on actions against banks arising from forged indorsements on checks is more specific than the Code of Civil Procedure's general statute of limitations establishing a three year period on actions between a customer and bank, so the one year statute applies in an action by a depositor against a bank based on the bank's payment of a check with a forged indorsement.CitationCHATSKY v SUPERIOR COURT (Battle of Statutes) 117 CA4 873 [See: CCP 340; CommC 4111; Fineman v Superior Court 66 CA4 1110]
