Conn. Gen. Stat. § 42a-3-409
Acceptance of draft. Certified check.
(b) A draft may be accepted although it has not been signed by the drawer, is otherwise incomplete, is overdue or has been dishonored.
(c) If a draft is payable at a fixed period after sight and the acceptor fails to date the acceptance, the holder may complete the acceptance by supplying a date in good faith.
(d) “Certified check” means a check accepted by the bank on which it is drawn. Acceptance may be made as stated in subsection (a) or by a writing on the check which indicates that the check is certified. The drawee of a check has no obligation to certify the check, and refusal to certify is not dishonor of the check.
See Sec. 42a-3-408 for successor provisions to Sec. 42a-3-409(1), revised to 1991, re assignment of funds in hands of drawee and liability of drawee on unaccepted instrument.
Fact that bank has supervised and assisted credit status of drawer company does not affect its status toward drawee of checks of company. 5 Conn. Cir. Ct. 393.
