Noting of dishonoured negotiable instruments permits a notary to promptly record dishonour with specified particulars. When a promissory note or bill of exchange is dishonoured, the holder may have the dishonour noted by a notary public on the instrument or an attached paper; the noting must be made within a reasonable time and specify the date of dishonour, the reason or the holder's basis for treating it as dishonoured, and the notary's charges.
