The provisions of Articles L. 632-1 and L. 632-2 do not affect the validity of the payment of a bill of exchange, promissory note or cheque.
However, the administrator or the mandataire judiciaire may bring an action against the drawer of the bill of exchange or, in the case of a draw on account, against the originator, as well as against the beneficiary of a cheque and the first endorser of a promissory note, if it is established that they had knowledge of the cessation of payments.
