What is a Promissory Note?

A Promissory Note is a written, signed and dated two-party negotiable instrument containing an unconditional promise by the maker (or obligor, payor, promisor) to pay a definite sum of money to a payee (or promisee, holder) on demand or at a specified future date. It is often used as a means to borrow funds or take out a loan.

So it's basically a promise to pay a certain amount of money to someone, on demand, or at a specified time.

The only difference between a promissory note and a bill of exchange is that the maker of a note pays the payee personally, rather than ordering a third party to do so.

Do Banks legally HAVE to accept Promissory Notes?

Lord Denning says Promissory Notes MUST br treated as cash!

Case Law:

A Lord Denning judgement that says a bill of exchange once tendered has to be treated as cash... The principle is that a bill, cheque or note is given and taken in payment as so much cash, and not as merely given a right of action for the creditor to litigate a counterclaim (see Jackson v Murphy [1887] 4 T.L.R. 92). "We have repeatedly said in this court that a bill of exchange or a promissory note is to be treated as cash. It is to be honoured unless there is some good reason to the contrary"

(see per Lord Denning M.R. in Fielding & Platt Ltd v Selim Najjar [1969] 1 W.L.R. 357 at 361; [1969] 2 All E.R. 150 at 152, CA)
