TENDER
(bouvier) | TENDER, contracts, pleadings. A tender is an offer to do or perform an act
which the party offering, is bound to perform to the party to whom the offer
is made.
2. A tender may be of money or of specific articles; these will be
separately considered. Sec. 1. Of the lender of money. To make la valid
tender the following requisites are necessary: 1. It must be made by a
person capable of paying: for if it be made by a stranger without the
consent of the debtor, it will be insufficient. Cro. Eliz. 48, 132; 2 M. &
S. 86; Co. Lit. 206.
3.-2. It must be made to the creditor having capacity to receive it, or
to his authorized agent. 1 Camp. 477; Dougl. 632; 5 Taunt. 307; S. C. 1
Marsh. 55; 6 Esp. 95; 3 T. R. 683; 14 Serg. & Rawle, 307; 1 Nev. & M. 398;
S. C. 28 E. C. L. R. 324; 4 B. & C. 29 S. C. 10 E. C. L. R. 272; 3 C. & P.
453 S. C. 14 E. C. L. R. 386; 1 M. & W. 310; M. & M. 238; 1 Esp. R. 349 1 C.
& P. 365
4.-3. The whole sum due must be offered, in the lawful coin of the
United States, or foreign coin made current by law; 2 N. & M. 519; and the
offer must be unqualified by any circumstance whatever. 2 T. R. 305; 1
Campb. 131; 3 Campb. 70; 6 Taunt. 336; 3 Esp. C. 91; Stark. Ev. pt. 4, page
1392, n. g; 4 Campb. 156; 2 Campb. 21; 1 M. & W. 310. But a tender in bank
notes, if not objected to on that account, will be good. 3 T. R. 554; 2 B. &
P. 526; 1 Leigh's N. P. c. 1, S. 20; 9 Pick. 539; see 2 Caines, 116; 13
Mass. 235; 4 N. H. Rep. 296; 10 Wheat 333. But in such case, the amount
tendered must be what is due exactly, for a tender of a five dollar note,
demanding change, would not be a good tender of four dollars. 3 Campb. R.
70; 6 Taunt. R. 336; 2 Esp. R. 710; 2 D. & R. 305; S. C. 16 E. C. L. R. 87.
And a tender was held good when made by a check contained in a letter,
requesting a receipt in return which the plaintiff sent back demanding a
larger sum, without objecting to the nature of the tender. 8 D. P. C. 442.
When stock is to be tendered, everything must be done by the debtor to
enable him to transfer it, but it is not absolutely requisite that it should
be transferred. Str. 504, 533, 579.
5.-4. If a term had been stipulated in favor of a creditor, it must be
expired; the offer should be made at the time agreed upon for the
performance of the contract if made afterwards, it only goes in mitigation
of damages, provided it be made before suit brought. 7 Taunt. 487; 8 East,
R. 168; 5 Taunt. 240; 1 Saund. 33 a, note 2. The tender ought to be made
before daylight is entirely gone. 7 Greenl. 31.
6.-5. The condition on which the debt was contracted must be fulfilled.
7.-6. The tender must be made at the place agreed upon for the payment,
or, if there be no place appointed for that purpose, then to the creditor or
his authorized agent. 8 John. 474; Lit. Sel. Cas. 132; Bac. Ab. h.t. c.
8. When a tender has been properly made, it is a complete defence to
the action but the benefit of a tender is lost, if the creditor afterwards
demand the thing due from the debtor, and the latter refuse to pay it.
Kirby, 293.
9.-Sec. 2. Of the tender of specific articles. It is a rule that
specific articles maybe tendered at some particular place, and not, like
money, to the person of the creditor wherever found. When no place is
expressly mentioned in the contract, the place of delivery is to be
ascertained by the intent of the parties, to be collected from the nature of
the case and its circumstances. If, for example, the contract is for
delivery of goods from the seller to the buyer on demand, the former being
the manufacturer of the goods or a dealer in them, no place being
particularly named, the manufactory or store of the seller will be
considered as the place intended, and a tender there will be sufficient.
When the specific articles are at another place at the time of sale, that
will be the place of delivery. 2 Greenl. Ev. Sec. 609 4 Wend. 377; 2 Applet.
325.
10. When the goods are cumbrous, and the place of delivery is not
designated, nor to be inferred from the circumstances, it is presumed that
it was intended that they should be delivered at any place which the
creditor might reasonably appoint; if the creditor refuses, or names an
unreasonable place, the debtor may select a proper place, and having given
notice to the creditor, deliver the goods there. 2 Kent, Comm. 507; 1
Greenl. 120; Chip. on Contr. 51 13 Wend. 95; 2 Greenl. Ev. Sec. 610. Vide,
generally, 20 Vin., Ab. 177; Bac. Ab. h.t.; 1 Sell. 314; Com. Dig. Action
upon the case upon Assumpsit, H 8 Condition, L 4 Pleader, 2 G 2-2 W, 28,49-3
K 23-3 M 36; Chipm, on Contr. 31, 74; Ayl. Pand. B. 4, t. 29; 7 Greenl. 31
