Stale check = valueless

A stale check is one which has not been presented for payment within a reasonable time after its issue; it is valueless and, therefore, should not be paid. (The International Corporate Bank v. Spouses Gueco, 404 Phil. 356, 366, year 2001) Read: https://www.projectjurisprudence.com/2021/08/gr-no-190253-june-11-2014.html.
