Description

What is a check's status in Jewish law, as compared to Canadian law? And three specific questions: 1. Where someone gives a check as a gift, and it bounces, does he owe the amount mentioned in the check? 2. Where someone gives a check, and the check bounces, does the writer have an obligation to refund the bounce fee to the person who tried to deposit it? 3. Where a buyer uses a check to pay for an item, and it bounces, may the seller cancel the sale?
