（Timing and method of using transcripts）
If an original bill is presented for acceptance, the personal or business name and address of the acceptor shall be specified on the duplicate or duplicates of the bill.
If a bill contains the particulars referred to in the preceding paragraph, the holder may require the acceptor to surrender the original.
If the acceptor refuses to surrender, the holder may not exercise their right of recourse unless a protest is made to attest to the fact that the acceptor failed to surrender the original despite the holder's request. |
