Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
(1) The obligation of an indorser stated in Subsection 70A-3-415(1) and the obligation of a drawer
stated in Subsection 70A-3-414(4) may not be enforced unless the indorser or drawer is given
notice of dishonor of the instrument complying with this section or notice of dishonor is excused
under Subsection 70A-3-504(2).
(2) Notice of dishonor may be given by any person, may be given by any commercially reasonable
means, including an oral, written, or electronic communication, and is sufficient if it reasonably
identifies the instrument and indicates that the instrument has been dishonored or has not been
paid or accepted. Return of an instrument given to a bank for collection is sufficient notice of
dishonor.
(3) Subject to Subsection 70A-3-504(3), with respect to an instrument taken for collection by a
collecting bank, notice of dishonor must be given by the bank before midnight of the next
banking day following the banking day on which the bank receives notice of dishonor of the
instrument, or by any other person within 30 days following the day on which the person
receives notice of dishonor. With respect to any other instrument, notice of dishonor must be
given within 30 days following the day on which dishonor occurs.
