After Sight is a legal term used to describe a situation where a party to a contract or agreement has fulfiled their obligations or performed their part of the agreement. It signifies that the party has completed their responsibilities and has no further obligations under the contract. After Sight is often used in the context of negotiable instruments, such as promissory notes or bills of exchange, where the party making the payment has fulfiled their obligation by making the payment. Once the payment is made, the instrument is considered “after sight,” indicating that the party has fulfiled their duty. This term is important in determining the rights and obligations of the parties involved in a contract or agreement.
