Title 11, Chapter 3, Section 603
( 11-3-603)
Tender of payment. (a) If tender of payment of an obligation to pay an instrument is
made to a person entitled to enforce the instrument, the effect of
tender is governed by principles of law applicable to tender of
payment under a simple contract. (b) If tender of payment of an obligation to pay an instrument is
made to a person entitled to enforce the instrument and the tender
is refused, there is discharge, to the extent of the amount of the
tender, of the obligation of an indorser or accommodation party
having a right of recourse with respect to the obligation to which
the tender relates. (c) If tender of payment of an amount due on an instrument is made
to a person entitled to enforce the instrument, the obligation of
the obligor to pay interest after the due date on the amount
tendered is discharged. If presentment is required with respect to
an instrument and the obligor is able and ready to pay on the due
date at every place of payment stated in the instrument, the obligor
is deemed to have made tender of payment on the due date to the
person entitled to enforce the instrument. |
