The form of any contract arising out of a cheque is regulated by the laws of the territory in which the contract has been signed. Nevertheless, it shall be sufficient if the forms prescribed by the law of the place of payment are observed.
If, however, the obligations entered into by means of a cheque are not valid according to the provisions of the preceding paragraph, but are in conformity with the laws of the territory in which a subsequent contract has been entered into, the circumstance that the previous contracts are irregular in form shall not invalidate the subsequent contract.
Each of the High Contracting Parties may prescribe that contracts by means of a cheque entered into abroad by one of his nationals shall be valid in respect of another of his nationals in his territory, provided that they are in the form laid down by the national law.
