Article L131-42 of the French Monetary and Financial Code

To obtain a second lost cheque, the owner of the cheque must contact the immediate endorser, who is required to lend his name and care to act towards his own endorser, going from endorser to endorser right up to the drawer of the cheque. The owner of the lost cheque bears the costs.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article L131-42

Le propriétaire du chèque égaré doit, pour s’en procurer le second, s’adresser à son endosseur immédiat qui est tenu de lui prêter son nom et ses soins pour agir envers son propre endosseur et ainsi en remontant d’endosseur à endosseur jusqu’au tireur du chèque. Le propriétaire du chèque égaré supporte les frais.
