Terms Used In New Jersey Statutes 12A:4-502

  • Bank: means a person engaged in the business of banking, including a savings bank, savings and loan association, credit union, or trust company. See New Jersey Statutes 12A:4-105
  • Draft: means a draft as defined in 12A:3-104 or an item, other than an instrument, that is an order. See New Jersey Statutes 12A:4-104
If a draft or the relevant instructions require presentment “on arrival,” “when goods arrive” or the like, the collecting bank need not present until in its judgment a reasonable time for arrival of the goods has expired. Refusal to pay or accept because the goods have not arrived is not dishonor; the bank must notify its transferor of the refusal but need not present the draft again until it is instructed to do so or learns of the arrival of the goods.
