General

Summary

When the law requires a promissory note or bill of exchange to be formally protested, the notice given to the parties must be a notice of that protest, not a notice of dishonour. This notice is given in the same way and under the same conditions as a notice of dishonour. The notary public who makes the protest is allowed to give this notice.

Official Text
