California Court of Appeal

Affirming the trial court's grant of summary judgment against a merchant in a case involving the sale of a high end sports car because the court determined that the receipt of payment in the form of checks from a third party made out to the merchant does not trigger common law duties not to ignore 'red flags' or 'suspicious' circumstances indicating fraud against a third party because payment by a check not in the customer's own name, by itself, is not a red flag.
