The Law of Cheques and Promissory Notes is a treatise on the Canadian law of bills of exchange, including negotiable instruments, cheques, and promissory notes, with reference to the federal Bills of Exchange Act and other federal and provincial legislation that deal with the subject.

Written by a specialist in commercial litigation, Law of Cheques and Promissory Notes sets out all conceivable issues with respect to:

The treatment of negotiable instruments as a medium of payment
Their properties and requirements
Their limitations
Their legal standing

This new publication is an essential reference to the Canadian law of bills of exchange and an invaluable tool for commercial lawyers and businesses in managing risk in business transactions.

A detailed review of negotiable instruments, such as cheques, promissory notes, bank drafts, and money orders
Expert interpretation of Canada's Bills of Exchange Act and the related federal and provincial legislation
Guidance on handling negotiable instruments
Discussion on the rights and obligations arising from negotiable instruments
