Kitchen Corporation sent a check to Overseas Equipment Company for payment of equipment ordered. When the check was reported as being lost, Kitchen Corporation wrote to its bank asking it to stop payment on the check. Kitchen Corporation then sent the money to the equipment company by wire transfer, which was received. However, 13 months later, the original check emerged and Kitchen Corporation's bank paid it, deducting the funds from Kitchen Corporation's checking account. 

Did Kitchen Corporation's check violate its duty to stop payment on the check? Explain.
