The applicant's notes dated without year are valid; an alleged part payment did not revive time-barred claims.
* Bills of Exchange Act – promissory notes dated with day and month but no year – construction of date by common sense to fix year. * Commercial instruments – certainty of time of payment – omission of year does not necessarily invalidate a promissory note. * Limitation – part payment after limitation – to revive claim must be interest or part payment of principal evidenced in payer's handwriting (Limitation Act s.20). * Appropriation of payments – absence of written appropriation precludes interruption of limitation period.
