Where a bill of exchange is drawn in a set of five, how many of them need to be proved?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Section 91 explanation 2 provides that where more than one original exists, only one original need be proved. Its bill-of-exchange illustration applies that rule to a set. Increasing the size of the set to five does not require proving five, three or two originals.

Current law: For new proceedings from 1 July 2024 the BSA supplies the corresponding rule, while BSA section 170 saves specified earlier pending proceedings. BSA section 94 explanation 2 preserves this rule.
