Is a person obligated to 'cover' or re-write a stale dated cheque?

Yes, if the original contract specifies payment.  If you promised someone $50 and they never cashed the cheque, you are obligated to issue another one.

Almost a year.  It's a Rev-Can cheque.....does that make a difference?

No.  They need to re-issue the cheque.
 
 I had an "ooops" last year when I went through the filing cabinet and found a stale-dated stock dividend cheque (about $800) which was stale-dated and issued about 10 years ago.  I called the company and sheepishly asked them to send another cheque, and they did.

Yea.....this is a pretty big oopsie too.....lol.

  So I wonder what the point is in even having a stale date time frame. (not that I'm complaining you understand)
