Legislator summary

AI generated

The court upheld the defense of a bill of exchange based on the direct relationship between the endorser and endorsee. The parties argued that the validity of the credit instrument depended on the specific terms of their private agreement rather than general commercial rules. The court ruled that in direct relations, exceptions arising from the extracartular convention are fully applicable, thereby validating the endorser's refusal to pay.
