EXAMPLE: Burton writes a check to a car repair establishment that the bank refuses to cash. The law in Burton's state establishes a presumption that he knowlingly intended to write a bad check if (1) there is no account in Burton's name at the bank named on the check or (2) the shop was refused payment for lack of funds within thirty days of the date on the check and Burton did not pay the amount owed within ten days of being informed of the bank's refusal to honor the check.Source: Barron's Dictionary of Legal Terms, Steven H.
