Negotiable Instruments Act Section 104A — When noting equivalent to protest

CHAPTER IX O F N O T I NG A N D P R O T E S T

General

Summary

If a bill or note must be formally protested by a certain deadline or before a specific next step, it is enough to have the bill noted for protest by that deadline or before that step. The formal protest document can then be completed later, and it will be treated as if it were made on the date of the noting.

Official Text

For the purposes of this Act, where a bill of note is required to be protested within a specified time or before some further proceeding is taken it is sufficient that the bill has been noted for protest before the expiration of the specified time or the taking of the proceeding; and, the formal protest may be extended at any time thereafter as of the date of the noting.]
