554.8404  Wrongful registration.
  1.  Except as otherwise provided in section 554.8406, an issuer is liable for wrongful registration of transfer if the issuer has registered a transfer of a security to a person not entitled to it, and the transfer was registered:
  a.  pursuant to an ineffective indorsement or instruction;
  b.  after a demand that the issuer not register transfer became effective under section 554.8403, subsection 1, and the issuer did not comply with section 554.8403, subsection 2;
  c.  after the issuer had been served with an injunction, restraining order, or other legal process enjoining it from registering the transfer, issued by a court of competent jurisdiction, and the issuer had a reasonable opportunity to act on the injunction, restraining order, or other legal process; or
  d.  by an issuer acting in collusion with the wrongdoer.
  2.  An issuer that is liable for wrongful registration of transfer under subsection 1 on demand shall provide the person entitled to the security with a like certificated or uncertificated security, and any payments or distributions that the person did not receive as a result of the wrongful registration. If an overissue would result, the issuer’s liability to provide the person with a like security is governed by section 554.8210.
  3.  Except as otherwise provided in subsection 1 or in a law relating to the collection of taxes, an issuer is not liable to an owner or other person suffering loss as a result of the registration of a transfer of a security if registration was made pursuant to an effective indorsement or instruction.
