إمكانية تنفيذ شيك على الحسابات الشخصية للمدير إذا صدر باسم الشركة


2
س: السلام عليكم،
لدي شيك من شخص باسم شركته وقد رُفِض لعدم كفاية الرصيد.
عند تنفيذ الشيك، هل يحق لي طلب التنفيذ على حساباته الشخصية أيضًا أم يكون فقط على حسابات الشركة؟
علمًا بأنه شريك والمدير المسؤول في نفس الوقت. الشركة شركة مقاولات ذات مسؤولية محدودة.
وهل يحق لي طلب منع السفر له؟
وفي حالة عدم السداد في الفترة القانونية، هل يمكن المطالبة بضبطه وإحضاره لحين السداد؟

يلعب الشيك دوراً مهماً في الحياة اليومية سواء في ميدان المعاملات التجارية أو في ميدان المعلامات المدنية باعتباره أداة وفاء والتزام تحل محل النقود في التعامل بين الافراد. ونظراً لهذه الأهمية فقد أصبح أكثر الأوراق التجارية انتشاراً وتداولاً بين الناس، على الرغم من حداثته نوعاً ما. فالشيك لم يبق كما كان في بداية عهده أداة لسحب الودائع المصرفية لحساب الساحب ذاته، بل أصبح أداة وفاء تحل محل النقود سواء على النطاق الداخلي بالنسبة للمعاملات التي يقوم بها الأفراد داخل الدولة فحسب وزادت أهميته.

We have an agreement with a company to supply food for their buffet on a daily basis, with invoices to be issued monthly and payment to be made every three months.
