BUSINESS LAWS
Ignorance of the law excuses no one.
It is a fraud to conceal a fraud.
The law compels no one to do an impossibility. An agreement without consideration is void.
Signatures made with a lead pencil are good at law.
A receipt for money paid is not legally conclusive. The acts of one partner bind all the others. Contracts made on Sunday cannot be enforced.
47
STATE OF COLORADO.
A contract made with a minor is void.
A contract made with a lunatic is void.
Principals are responsible for the acts of their agents.
Agents are responsible to their principals for errors.
Each individual in a partnership is responsible for the whole amount of the debts of the firm.
A note given by a minor is void.
Notes bear interest only when so stated.
It is not legally necessary to say on a note, "for value re- ceived."
1
A note drawn on Sunday is void.
A note obtained by fraud, or from a person in a state of in- toxication, cannot be collected.
If a note be lost or stolen, it does not release the maker; he must pay it.
An endorser of a note is exempt from liability if not served with notice of its dishonor within twenty-four hours of its non- payment.
