The responsibility for delay in the payment of the amount of the Promissory Notes arises only when a lawful presentation of payment is made (see Supreme Court Decision 2009Da94797, Apr. 8, 2010). There is no evidence to prove that the Plaintiff, prior to the filing of the instant lawsuit, made a lawful presentation of payment to the Defendants and caused delay of payment.
Therefore, the claim for damages for delay until the delivery date of the duplicate of the complaint of this case is rejected.
