The document discusses the relationship between bankers and customers. It defines a banker as a person who receives money from customers and repays it on demand. A customer is a person who has an account, either deposit or current, with the banker. The relationship is contractual, with the banker as debtor and the customer as creditor. However, the roles can be reversed if the banker lends money to the customer. The relationship also involves aspects of an agency with obligations and rights on both sides. The document outlines circumstances when a banker must or may dishonor a customer's cheque, as well as protections afforded to paying and collecting bankers.
