Article L131-57 of the French Monetary and Financial Code

Payment made on one of the copies discharges the obligation, even if it is not stipulated that this payment cancels the effect of the other copies.

The endorser who has passed on the copies to different persons, as well as subsequent endorsers, are liable for all copies bearing their signature which have not been returned.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article L131-57

Le paiement fait sur un des exemplaires est libératoire, alors même qu’il n’est pas stipulé que ce paiement annule l’effet des autres exemplaires.

L’endosseur qui a transmis les exemplaires à différentes personnes, ainsi que les endosseurs subséquents, sont tenus à raison de tous les exemplaires portant leur signature qui n’ont pas été restitués.
