Arabic original
١ - إذا كان لمن قبلوا الكمبيالة بالتدخل أو لمن عينوا لوفائها عند الاقتضاء موطن في مكان وفائها وجب على حاملها تقديمها لهؤلاء جميعا لوفائها، وعمل بروتستو عدم الوفاء إذا لزم الحال على الأكثر في اليوم التالي لآخر يوم يجوز فيه عمل بروتستو. ٢ - فإذا لم يعمل البروتستو في هذا الميعاد كان من عين الموفي عند الاقتضاء أو من حصل قبول الكمبيالة بالتدخل لمصلحته، وكذلك المظهرون اللاحقون في حل من التزاماتهم.
