North Dakota § 41-03-60 - (3-503) Notice of dishonor

§ 41-03-60. (3-503) Notice of dishonor

1. The obligation of an endorser stated in subsection 1 of section 41-03-52 and the obligation of a drawer stated in subsection 3 of section 41-03-51 may not be enforced unless the endorser or drawer is given notice of dishonor of the instrument complying with this section or notice of dishonor is excused under subsection 3 of section 41-03-51. 2. Notice of dishonor may be given by any person; may be given by any commercially reasonable means, including an oral, written, or electronic communication; and is sufficient if it reasonably identifies the instrument and indicates that the instrument has been dishonored or has not been paid or accepted. Return of an instrument given to a bank for collection is a sufficient notice of dishonor. 3. Subject to subsection 3 of section 41-03-61, with respect to an instrument taken for collection by a collecting bank, notice must be given by the bank before midnight of the next banking day following the banking day on which the bank receives the notice of dishonor of the instrument and by any other person within thirty days following the day on which dishonor occurs.
