or after sight.
Article 13.
Article 15: (a) Proceedings against a drawer or endorser who has made an inequitable
gain; (b) Same proceedings against an acceptor who has made an inequitable gain. "These
proceedings shall be taken within a period of five years counting from the date of

Hongarije
05-01-1966
In respect of bills of exchange and promissory notes, no payment may be demanded in Hungary on legal holidays, namely: l January (New Year's Day), 4 April (Liberation Day), 1 May (Labour Day), 20 August (Constitution Day), 7 November (Anniversary of the October Socialist Revolution), 25 December (Christmas Day), 26 December (Boxing Day), Easter Monday, and weekly rest days (usually Sundays).
25-03-1985
In the circulation of bills of exchange between inlanders the protest may be replaced
by a dated statement, written on the bill of exchange itself and signed by the drawee
and the third person making the payment /Article 8,/ Annex 2, respectively, unless
an authentic protest is required by the drawer in the wording of the bill of exchange.
In the case mentioned in the above paragraph it is deemed that an undated negotiation
of bill is dated as before the date of the protest.
21-06-1985
1) As regards conformity with Article 8 of Annex II, the wording "signed by the drawee
and the third person making the payment, respectively" is intended by the competent
Hungarian financial organs to express that the statement of the person to whom the
bill of exchange is payable is required. If the bill of exchange is not domiciled
with a named person for payment, the drawee's statement is required. In the case of
an instrument domiciled with a named person payment, the statement signed by that
named person is required.
2) The wording in regard to bills of exchange domiciled with a named person for payment
had to be expanded for two reasons:
a. As the third person named for payment can be consid ered as the drawee's "cashier",
it is logical to authorize him to make the statement in case of non-payment.
b. A domiciled bill of exchange is to be presented for payment at maturity at the
domicile. If the statement of the third person named for payment could not be accepted
in lieu of protest and the statement of the drawee should therefore be obtained, it
would often cause practically insurmountable difficulties in reaching the drawee within
two and a half business days of frustrated payment.
Attention is called in this respect to the fact that the same solution is adopted
by Art. 56, para. /3/, of the Draft Convention on International Bills of Exchange
and International Promissory Notes /A/CN9/211/ prepared by the Working Group on International
Negotiable Instruments.
