Let me just give you an example.

Yes, but you can look at it another way,

Yes, but that's only one side of the

Suggested answers

For money or other performance received

The party who has signed the promissory note and has

Thus agreed to repay the debt under the terms laid out

In the promissory note

To be paid when requested

To fail to fulfil the obligations or abide by what was

Agreed; to breach the agreement.

Interest 2 principal 3 outstanding 4 due

Accrue 6 Maturity 7 instalment

8 1,2,3,4,7,8

Requirements 7 and 8 (the requirement that the note

Makes an unconditional order or promise and the

Requirement that the note states that the outstanding

Sum is either payable on demand or at a definite time).

The borrower made the condition that as soon as he is

Paid out his inheritance, he will start paying the debt

Back.

Problems with the promissory note which the lawyer

should recognise:

v Unconditional? No, because the language appears to

Make it conditional upon consideration to be received

Under a separate agreement.

\.., An order? The 'to the order' language is missing, so

This would be non-negotiable under US law.

v A sum certain? The sum is uncertain. Is the sum

Or 30, and is the denomination US

dollars or something else?

v A sum certain? The interest to be paid must be stated

On the note, otherwise any subsequent holder has no

Idea of what the total amount due is.

0 Signed by the drawer? Who is the drawer? Can you tell

just from the signature? The drawer must be

Identified, and the note should preferably be signed by

A witness.
