The court dismissed the request to review the validity of a signature on commercial promissory notes. The managing partner signed the notes personally on the front face, but the opposing party argued this did not constitute a valid acceptance of the debt. The court ruled that such a personal signature cannot be interpreted as an acceptance of the obligation undertaken by the commercial society.
