Description

You have received a legal notice or a court summons in a cheque bounce case, perhaps over a security cheque, a disputed amount or a cheque you say was misused. Ignoring it can lead to warrants. The law presumes a debt against the person who signed the cheque, but that presumption can be rebutted. This answer explains how cheque bounce cases are defended, which defences courts accept, what the Supreme Court has said on security and blank cheques, and when settlement makes sense.

What the answer covers

  • What to do within days of receiving a demand notice
  • How the legal presumption works and how it can be rebutted
  • Defences based on facts and on procedural defects
  • Special rules for directors of companies
  • Settlement, compounding and appeal time limits
  • Errors accused persons commonly make
