Section two (d) of Republic Act Numbered Four hundred and one is hereby
amended to read as follows: "Sec. 2. (d)
When the debtor was unable to pay an obligation which became due and
demandable, or the interest which should have been paid during the said
period because the assets of the creditor were under the control of the
enemy and/or administered through the so-called Enemy Alien Property
Custodian or other enemy instrumentality, and the debtor paid the
interests to it in the belief that such payment was valid and effective
payment to the creditor or because of fear that failure to comply with
the demand would lead to reprisals on his person or property. Sec. 2. This Act shall take effect upon its approval. Approved: June 20, 1953 |
