BaghdadiLaw’s experience in enforcement of cheques and promissory notes in Syria

BaghdadiLaw brings nearly seven decades of legal practice, since its founding in 1957, to enforcement of cheques and promissory notes, with detailed knowledge of each instrument’s requirements, the underlying debt and potential objections. A cheque and a promissory note used in Syria may support payment claims through different evidential steps. The cheque involves a bank payment instruction, while the note records its maker’s undertaking; the recovery review must preserve that distinction.

Trade Law 33/2007 separately regulates notes in Articles 345–350 and cheques in Article 351 onward. Civil Procedure Law 1/2016 requires a suitable execution title and a right meeting the statutory conditions. The historical texts therefore support separate instrument checks rather than a universal direct-execution claim; current procedure must be confirmed. A replacement note may have been issued after a cheque was unpaid. Clarify whether it replaces, reschedules or merely adds security for the same obligation.

We agree the work your matter needs: Assess payment demand, settlement or the appropriate legal procedure, and deal expressly with all instruments on discharge. Defences about signature or partial payment require tailored analysis. The deliverable is agreed for your file: The consultation can deliver a comparative instrument review and a recovery checklist identifying the evidence specific to the cheque or note.

Common questions

Before requesting advice on enforcement of cheques and promissory notes in Syria

What differs when recovering a cheque or promissory note in Syria?

For a cheque, review the bank presentation and refusal record. For a note, examine the maker’s undertaking and maturity. For both, check the original, holder’s title, authority and remaining balance, then verify the appropriate judicial or execution route.

Is bank refusal relevant to every promissory note?

A note’s undertaking differs from a cheque’s bank instruction; the required evidence depends on its terms and the applicable procedure.

Can a new note remove the need to keep the old cheque records?

No. They may explain the original debt, replacement terms and payments, and should be retained.
