After a non-jury trial the court ruled that section 673.1081, Florida Statutes, governed the payment, making it due upon demand....
...hended the language of the note. Saadeh contends that appellants already stipulated to the fact that the note was a demand note and that its silence as to the payment date supports the notion that the entire amount of the note was payable on demand. Section 673.1081, Florida Statutes, provides that a note is “payable on demand” if it “[d]oes not state any time of payment.” § 673.1081(l)(b), Fla....
