Negotiable Instruments Law
Claims under cheques, promissory notes and bills of exchange, enforcement and negative declaratory actions.
Formal requirements for negotiable instruments are strict. A missing element can take a document outside the scope of a bill and change how the claim can be enforced.
We handle enforcement based on cheques, promissory notes and bills of exchange, objections to the debt or signature, negative declaratory and restitution actions, and dishonoured cheque matters.
Limitation periods vary by type of instrument, and missing the presentment period forfeits the right of recourse. Precautions taken when the instrument is transferred reduce this risk.
The information here is general in nature and is not legal advice. Every matter is assessed on its own facts.
