Promise to pay time barred debt - Execution of promissory note in lieu of such debt - Mention of factum of debt being time-barred not required.
Where the contents of the promissory note in question bear out the express promise to pay certain debt which was time barred, it is not required under the law that the promissory note mentions that this was in lieu of a time barred debt or even that the executors should have been conscious that the debt had become barred by limitation.
Fresh offer and acceptance is required.

Dear Sir,
Thanks a lot for your respond. By the way could you kindly tell me whether, to reply to plaintiff memo of first appeal in civil proceedings in the District from the lower Court to the superior District Court, using the expression Affidavit in opposition in reply to the Appeal petition or Memorandum of objections to memo of appeal etc is correct?
For eg we usually use
In the matter of:
Affidavit in opposition in reply to memo of appeal....etc.
Could you kindly let me know the format of such reply for the respondents while filing reply to memo of appeal?
