818.
A cheque is transferable by indorsement, and, where it is indorsed in blank, or drawn payable to bearer, by delivery.
819.
A cheque requires neither acceptance nor protest. Claims on a cheque are prescribed after the expiration of three years from its date. In the event of a cheque not being presented or forwarded for payment within three days of the day of its issue, the holder bears the consequences of the delay.
820.
Where, on presentment, payment of a cheque is not made, the holder and every indorser has during a period of ten days from the date of the cheque a right of recourse ; the holder against all indorsers and the drawer, and each indorser against the parties prior to himself and the drawer ; as against the drawer, however, such right of recourse continues even after such period has elapsed if he had no credit open, or had exhausted the same, or had countermanded payment.
In the event of litigation the drawer is bound to produce his cheque book in Court.
