A fresh legal challenge has emerged over the Bank of Jamaica’s (BOJ) mandate to phase out paper cheques. The legal action targets the initial phase of the industry-wide transition towards electronic payments, ahead of an ultimate plan to fully eliminate paper cheques. The latest motion was filed last Thursday by Devon Miller, a 58-year-old livestock farmer of Lennox Bigwoods in Darliston, Westmoreland.
