1 La révocation du chèque n’a d’effet qu’après l’expiration du délai de présentation.
2 S’il n’y a pas de révocation, le tiré peut payer même après l’expiration du délai.
3 Si le tireur allègue que le chèque a été perdu par lui ou par un tiers, il peut en interdire le paiement au tiré.
1 Where the cheque is denominated in a currency other than that of the place of payment, the cheque amount may be paid in the national currency at its value as at the date of presentation. Where payment is not made on presentation, the bearer is free to choose whether the cheque amount is converted into the national currency at the rate applicable on the date of presentation or the rate applicable on the payment date.
2 The value of the foreign currency is determined according to customary commercial practice at the place of payment. However, the drawer may stipulate an exchange rate for the bill amount on the bill of exchange.
3 The provisions of the two previous paragraphs are not applicable if the drawer has stipulated payment in a specified currency (actual currency clause).
4 Where the cheque is denominated in a currency which has the same name but a different value in the country in which the cheque was issued and that in which it is payable, the presumption is that the currency meant is that of the place of payment.
