Where a dishonoured bill has been accepted for honour supra protest or contains a reference in case of need, it must be protested for non-payment before it is presented for payment to the acceptor for honour, or referee in case of need.
Where the address of the acceptor for honour is in the same place where the bill is protested for non-payment, the bill must be presented to the acceptor for honour not later than the day following its maturity; and where the address of the acceptor for honour is in some place other than the place where it was protested for non-payment, the bill must be forwarded not later than the day following its maturity for presentment to the acceptor.
Delay in presentment or non-presentment is excused by any circumstance which would excuse delay in presentment for payment or non-presentment for payment.
When a bill of exchange is dishonoured by the acceptor for honour it must be protested for non-payment by the acceptor.
