Shipper was ill for 14 months. His wife did not take care of his affairs carefully, nor did she examine his bank statements as they arrived each month. One of Shipper’s acquaintances had forged his name to a check in favor of himself for

$10,000. The drawee bank paid the check and charged Shipper’s account.

Shipper’s wife did not notify the bank for 13 months after she received the statement and the forged check. Can she compel the bank to reverse the charge?

Why or why not?
