Bills And Notes - Excuse Of Presentment For Payment

Michigan Law Review

The X bank at which a certificate of deposit was payable was in the hands of a receiver at the time of maturity of the certificate. Plaintiff, holder, sued defendant on his liability as an indorser. Defendant claimed a discharge of his liability because of plaintiff's failure to present for payment to the maker (X bank) at maturity. Held, plaintiff was excused from presenting for payment.
