Statute Text
Overdue instrument.
(1) An instrument payable on demand becomes overdue at the earliest of the
following times:
(a) On the day
after the day demand for payment is duly made;
(b) If the
instrument is a check, 90 days after its date; or
(c) If the
instrument is not a check, when the instrument has been outstanding for a
period of time after its date which is unreasonably long under the
circumstances of the particular case in light of the nature of the instrument
and usage of the trade.
(2) With respect
to an instrument payable at a definite time, the following rules apply:
(a) If the
principal is payable in installments and a due date has not been accelerated,
the instrument becomes overdue upon default under the instrument for nonpayment
of an installment, and the instrument remains overdue until the default is
cured.
(b) If the
principal is not payable in installments and the due date has not been
accelerated, the instrument becomes overdue on the day after the due date.
(c) If a due date
with respect to principal has been accelerated, the instrument becomes overdue
on the day after the accelerated due date.
(3) Unless the
due date of principal has been accelerated, an instrument does not become
overdue if there is default in payment of interest but no default in payment of
principal. [1993 c.545 §33]
