Answer 2

the​ drawer, is​ secondarily liable on the check when it is dishonored.

Step-by-step explanation:

A check is a legal document and is usually considered as good as cash. When a check bounces (is not paid by the bank) the drawer is liable for the total amount of the check.

If the check bounces because the account does not have sufficient funds, the drawer is responsible and liable. But if the bank bounces the check without any proper reason, then it can be liable for damages.
