If a cheque is lost, the person to whom it belongs may pursue payment from a second, third, fourth, etc. cheque.
If the person who lost the cheque cannot represent the second, third, fourth, etc., he may request payment of the lost cheque and obtain it by order of the judge by proving his ownership by his books and by giving security.
In all the provisions of this chapter relating to the loss of a cheque, theft is treated in the same way as loss.
