OPINION OF THE COURT
Ciparick, J.
In this dispute between a law firm and two banks, the issues presented are (1) the scope of the duty a payor bank owes to a noncustomer depositor of a counterfeit check and (2) the scope of the duty a depositary bank owes its customer when it acts as a collecting bank during the check collection process.
