💰 Law of Tender — Legal Discharge and Performance of Monetary Obligations
🧭 Course Overview
This class examines the law of tender — the doctrine governing lawful offer, performance, and discharge of monetary and contractual obligations. Rooted in both common law and statutory interpretation, tender represents more than payment; it is the formal act by which a debtor fulfills or extinguishes a duty.
This course explores what constitutes valid tender, who may tender, when and how tender must be made, and the legal consequences of refusal. Students will also study how tender intersects with commercial paper, negotiable instruments, debt enforcement, and equitable relief under state and federal law.
🎓 Learning Outcomes
Upon completion, students will be able to:
- Define the concept of “tender” and explain its function in discharging debts and obligations .
- Distinguish tender of payment from tender of performance, including lawful conditions and timing under common law and the UCC.
- Identify legal requirements for valid tender — including who may tender, the form and sufficiency of tender, and the effect of tender refused.
- Analyze the consequences of defective or conditional tender, and when a creditor’s refusal constitutes waiver or discharge of the obligation.
- Apply doctrines of tender to modern contexts such as bills of exchange, cashier’s checks, and digital payments, understanding when tender extinguishes legal liability.
