What's the rules on cheques, and the issuer being able to cancel the
cheque/s over the last 6 months?
I'm in dispute with someone who owes me money for work that I've done.
The cheque that I was given didn't clear, and from talkin to the bank,
they tell me it was cancelled by the issuer.
I'm now issuing him with notice of taking him to court via Money Claim
Online.

What's to stop the bloke from cancelling all previous cheques issued to
me in the past 6 months, and to let this cheque for £1300 go through
this time, but decide to claim it back later?


Nothing, apart from the fact that you will sue him, and his bank will
charge him for the cancellation of the cheques.


Does the issuer need to have a good reason for gettin the bank to cancel
the cheque/s within the 6 months of issuing it?

No.
