- Title 12A
DISCHARGE BY CANCELLATION OR RENUNCIATION
(a) A person entitled to enforce an instrument, with or without
consideration, may discharge the obligation of a party to pay the
instrument (i) by an intentional voluntary act, such as surrender of
the instrument to the party, destruction, mutilation, or
cancellation of the instrument, cancellation or striking out of the
party's signature, or the addition of words to the instrument
indicating discharge, or (ii) by agreeing not to sue or otherwise
renouncing rights against the party by a signed record. The
obligation of a party to pay a check is not discharged solely by
destruction of the check in connection with a process in which
information is extracted from the check and an image of the check is
made and, subsequently, the information and image are transmitted
for payment.
(b) Cancellation or striking out of an indorsement pursuant to
subsection (a) of this section does not affect the status and rights
of a party derived from the indorsement.
