Promissory Note Question Divides Law in Charleston Case
A Circuit Court decision in Charleston considers whether a document promising to pay a sum on demand constitutes a promissory note or a special agreement needing explicit consideration. The judge rules that merely promising to pay money at a future time does not by itself create a promissory note, unless the instrument meets the required elements. The case discusses exchange rates, collection costs, and the role of evidence in proving a debt and agreement.
