Commentaries: Art. 1123

The drawer and any bearer may cross the cheque with the effects envisaged in Article 1124.
A cheque is crossed by drawing two parallel lines on its obverse. Such crossing may be general or specific.
The crossing is general if no indication or the comment “banker” or a comment to that effect is inserted between the two lines; it is specific if the name of a banker is inserted between the two lines.
A general crossing may be converted into a specific crossing, but not vice versa.
Any deletion of the crossing or of the name of the designated banker is deemed not done.
