Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If the debt is unliquidated, then Mei's payment in full statement on the back of the check is considered a accord and satisfaction offer. If Nat cashes the check, he is accepting Mei's offer and the entire debt is discharged. However, if the debt is liquidated or past due, Mei's payment in full statement would not be considered a valid accord and satisfaction offer, and Nat would not be obligated to accept the partial payment as full satisfaction of the debt.
