票据抗辩指票据债务人针对票据债权人(持票人)的付款请求,提出一定的拒绝付款的理由,从法律上排除自己的付款责任的行为。我国票据法第13条第3款对票据抗辩下的定义是:“票据债务人根据本法规定对票据债权人拒绝履行义务的行为”。票据抗辩性质上属于拒绝履行义务抗辩,这与民法上拒绝履行债务抗辩性质相同,但是,又不同于民法上的债务抗辩。 Ticket counter-denomination bill Debtor for bill creditors (bearer) payment request, put forward a certain reason for refusing payment, legally ruled out their own payment obligations. Article 13, paragraph 3, of the PRC Negotiation Act defenses the definition of the bill as follows: “The act in which the debtor of a bill refuses to perform its obligations under the provisions of this Law.” The nature of the bill defense is the refusal to perform the obligation defense, which is the same as refusing to perform the debt defense in the civil law. However, it is different from the debt defense in the civil law.
