The Recourse Promissory Note is a fundamental financial instrument used when one party (the Maker) wishes to document their obligation to repay a loan to another party (the Payee), while providing the Payee with comprehensive rights of recovery. This document is particularly relevant in situations where the lender requires additional security beyond specific collateral, such as in business loans, private lending arrangements, or real estate transactions. Under Canadian law, these notes must comply with the Bills of Exchange Act and provincial regulations regarding interest rates and debt collection. The recourse nature of the note means that if the borrower defaults and the value of any specific collateral is insufficient to cover the debt, the lender can pursue the borrower's other assets or income to satisfy the outstanding obligation. This makes it a stronger form of security compared to non-recourse notes, particularly suitable for situations where the lender requires maximum protection for their investment.
