An IOU Note serves as a formal acknowledgment of debt and promise of repayment under Maltese law. This document is commonly used in both personal and business contexts where one party (the debtor) commits to paying a specific sum of money to another party (the creditor). The IOU Note must comply with Malta's Commercial Code and Civil Code requirements, including clear specification of the amount owed, payment terms, and parties involved. It's particularly useful in situations requiring documented proof of debt, such as personal loans, business transactions, or installment payments. The document can be simple or complex depending on the circumstances, potentially including elements such as interest rates, security arrangements, or payment schedules.
