Payment
Payment, is the act of paying, K.S. Bawa v. Director of Enforcement, (1990) Cr LJ 1068.The payment of money before the day appointed is in law payment at the day; for it cannot, in presumption of law, be any prejudice to him to whom the payment is made to have his money before the time; and it appears by the party's receipt of it, that it is for his own advantage to receive it then, otherwise he would not do it, 5 Rep. 117.
