| 单词 | Promissory note |
| 释义 | 承付票 An unconditional promise in writing made by one person to another, signed by the maker, engaging to pay, on demand or at a fixed or determinable future time, a sum certain in money to, or to the order of, a specified person or to bearer: Bills of Exchange Ordinance (Cap 19) s 89(1). An instrument in the form of a note payable to maker’s order is not a note within the meaning of this definition, unless and until it is indorsed by the maker: s 89(2). A note is not invalid by reason only that it contains also a pledge of collateral security, with authority to sell or dispose thereof: s 89(3). An instrument is not a promissory note if conditional clauses are added to the promise to pay: Balck v Pilcher (1909) 25 TLR 497. The law relating to the parties to bills of exchange applies, with exceptions, to promissory notes: s 95(1). A promissory note may be in any language: Re Marseilles Extension Rly and Land Co, Smallpage’s & Brandon’s Cases (1885) 30 Ch D 598. See also Bill of exchange; Cheque; Negotiable instrument. 一項無條件的票面承諾，由一人向另一人開立，並由發票人簽名，允諾在有人憑票要求付款時、在指定時間或在可以確定的未來時間，向某指明的人或其指定的人支付一筆數額確定的款項，或向持票人或其指定的人支付一筆數額確定的款項：《匯票條例》（第19章）第89(1)條。任何票據如屬可付款予發票人所指定的人的承付票形式，則非本條所指的承付票，除非由發票人作出背書及直至發票人作出背書為止：第89(2)條。承付票不得僅因另載有附屬抵押品的質押，並授權將該抵押品出售或處置，而致無效：第89(3)條。在付款允諾上附有條件條款的文書並不屬承付票：Balck v Pilcher (1909) 25 TLR 497。除了一些例外，有關匯票各方的法律亦適用於承付票：第95(1)條。承付票可以任何語文開立：Re Marseilles Extension Rly and Land Co, Smallpage’s & Brandon’s Cases (1885) 30 Ch D 598。另見 Bill of exchange; Cheque; Negotiable instrument。 |
