Abstract

Bill of exchange: Bills of exchange are widely used in international trade, partly since they are convenient methods of debt collection from traders abroad. Finance may be arranged in a number of ways against bills of exchange, both for the buyer (drawee) and for the seller (drawers). If a bill of exchange has been dishonoured the holder may sue the other parties to the bill.
