The court denied the provision of the appeal regarding a demand summons filed by the drawer against the acceptor of a bill of exchange. The drawer argued for joint liability, but the acceptor contended that such status does not exist under the Civil Code. The court ruled that the acceptor is not a joint debtor, rendering the procedural mechanism inadmissible.
