1 The drawer and any bearer may cross the cheque with the effects envisaged in Article 1124.
2 A cheque is crossed by drawing two parallel lines on its obverse. Such crossing may be general or specific.
3 The crossing is general if no indication or the comment “banker” or a comment to that effect is inserted between the two lines; it is specific if the name of a banker is inserted between the two lines.
4 A general crossing may be converted into a specific crossing, but not vice versa.
5 Any deletion of the crossing or of the name of the designated banker is deemed not done.
Ni le décès du tireur ni son incapacité survenant après l’émission ni sa faillite ne touchent aux effets du chèque.
