1 Where the purpose of the payment instruction is to redeem a debt owed by the principal to the payee, the debt is redeemed only once the agent has made the transfer.
2 However, where the payee has accepted a payment instruction, he may assert his claim against the principal only if he called for payment from the agent but did not receive it before expiry of the term stipulated in the payment instruction.
3 A creditor who does not wish to accept a payment instruction received from his debtor must notify the debtor immediately in order to avoid liability in damages.
L’assignation est un contrat par lequel l’assigné est autorisé à remettre à l’assignataire, pour le compte de l’assignant, une somme d’argent, des papiers-valeurs ou d’autres choses fongibles, que l’assignataire a mandat de percevoir en son propre nom.
