`1`promissory note `2` "DUHAIME'S ONLINE LEGAL DICTIONARY"
An unconditional, written and signed promise to pay a certain amount of money, on demand or at a certain defined date in the future. Contrary to a bill of exchange, a promissory note is not drawn on any third party holding the payor's money; it is a direct promise from the payor to the payee. |
