Dear Colleagues:
Those interested in the legal nature of cheques will be interested in the SCC's decision in
Canada Trustco Mortgage Co. v. Canada (http://scc.lexum.org/en/2011/2011scc36/2011scc36.html). Though as the court notes, "Few jurists thrive on exploring the mechanisms rooted in the Bills of Exchange Act, R.S.C. 1985, c. B-4 ("BEA"); most find them technical and tedious".
