► General presentation of the book (written in French) :
The book first sets out the theory of accounts. Then the credit instruments, namely commercial paper and the new credit instruments. In the second part of the book, payment instruments are explained, namely the cheque and the new means of payment.
This textbook thus makes it possible to understand the legal instruments through which companies obtain credit and pay the claims that third parties hold against them: the bill of exchange, the promissory note or the cheque, the whole most often operating through a bank account.
In this tradition, which remains rooted in civil law whose guiding principles continue to govern the subject, the modernity of certain instruments renews it, such as the Dailly assignment or electronic money, which is upsetting the law of payment.
This clear and above all pedagogical textbook explains this dialectic between classic law and the modernity of techniques.
