Section 4--303. (2) A remitter or payee of a cashier's check or certified check may by order to the obligated bank stop payment of such a check, and a remitter or payee of a teller's check may order the obligated bank to order the payor bank to stop payment of such a check, at any time after ninety days from the date of issuance of either a cashier's check or teller's check, and date of certification of a certified check

  • The stop  payment  is  effective  if either the remitter or payee delivers to the obligated
      bank at a time and in a manner affording a reasonable opportunity to act
      before any of the actions described in Section 4-303 (1) are taken:  (i)
      a  written  order  to  stop  payment, which shall describe the item with
      reasonable certainty, and (ii) an affidavit of  the  remitter  or  payee
      containing  an  averment  that  the check was destroyed, its whereabouts
      cannot be determined, or it is in the wrongful possession of an  unknown
      person or a person that cannot be found or is not amenable to service of
      process.
        (3)  An oral order is binding upon the bank only for fourteen calendar
      days unless confirmed in writing within that period. A written order  is
      effective for only six months unless renewed in writing.
        (4)  The  burden of establishing the fact and amount of loss resulting
      from the payment of an item contrary to a binding stop payment order  is
      on the customer, remitter or payee.
