DISHONOR OF CHECK BY THE DRAWEE BANK

WELCOME TO THE BOUNCING CHECKS LAW RESOURCES!
 
Dishonor of Check by Drawee Bank is Prima Facie Proof of Making or Issuance of Check and Due Presentment Thereof

Another provision of the statute, also in the nature of a rule of evidence, provides that the introduction in evidence of the unpaid and dishonored check with the drawee bank's refusal to pay "stamped or written thereon or attached thereto, giving the reason therefore, shall constitute prima facie proof of "the making or issuance of said check, and the  due presentment to the drawee for payment and the dishonor thereof . . . for the reason written, stamped or attached by the drawer on such dishonored check." The presumptions being merely prima facie, it is open to the accused of course to present proof to the contrary to overcome the said presumptions.
