Commentary on the Bills of Exchange Amendment Act (Paperback)

Following many months of debate and lobbying, the new Bills of Exchange Amendment Act became law on 1 March 2001. This Act seeks to amend the Bills of Exchange Act in order to simplify and clarify the law relating to cheques and to accommodate the advances of technology, as well as to reduce the high incidence of cheque fraud. The Commentary deals specifically with each amendment, and gives a clear analysis of its legal effect.;(Supplement to the Handbook on the Law of Negotiable Instruments - 2nd ed, 1997)
