(b) a statement of the transaction which gives rise to the bill, is unconditional.

5. (1.) A bill may be drawn payable to, or to the order of, the drawer; or it may be drawn payable to, or to the order of, the drawee.
(2.) Where in a bill drawer and drawee are the same person, or where the drawee is a fictitious person or a person not having capacity to contract, the holder may treat the instrument, at his option, either as a bill of exchange or as a promissory note.

7. (1.) Where a bill is not payable to bearer, the payee must be named or otherwise indicated therein with reasonable certainty.
(3.) Where the payee is a fictitious or non-existing person the bill maybe treated as payable to bearer.

8. (2.) A negotiable bill may be payable either to order or to bearer

20. (1) Where a simple signature on a blank stamped paper is delivered by the signer in order that it may be converted into a bill, it operates as a prima facie authority (on the face of it presumed to be true unless disproved by some evidence to the contrary.) to fill it up as a complete bill for any amount the stamp will cover, using the signature for that of the drawer, or the acceptor, or an indorser; and, in like manner, when a bill is wanting in any material particular, the person in possession of it has a prima facie authority to fill up the omission in any way he thinks fit.

Capacity and Authority of Parties.
22. (1.) Capacity to incur liability as a party to a bill is co-extensive with capacity to contract. Provided that nothing in this section shall enable a corporation to make itself as drawer, acceptor, or indorser of a bill unless it is competent to it so to do under the law for the time being in force relating to corporations.
(2.) Where a bill is drawn (scottishpower) or indorsed (by us BOE) by an infant, minor, or corporation (they class us as all of those) having no capacity or power to incur liability on a bill, the drawing, or indorsement entitles the holder to receive payment of the bill, and to enforce it against any other party thereto.
23. No person is liable as drawer, indorser, or acceptor of a bill who has not signed it as such; provided that
(1.) Where a person signs a bill in a trade or assumed name, he is liable thereon as if he had signed it in his own name:

(2.) An accommodation party is liable on the bill to a holder for value; and it is immaterial whether, when such holder took the bill, he knew such party to be an accommodation party or not.

Negotiation of Bills.

31. (1.) A bill is negotiated when it is transferred from one person to another in such a manner as to constitute the transferee the holder of the bill.
(2.) A bill payable to bearer is negotiated by delivery.
(3.) A bill payable to order is negotiated by the indorsement of the holder completed by delivery.
(4.) Where the holder of a bill payable to his order transfers it for value without indorsing it, the transfer gives the transferee such title as the transferor had in the bill, and the transferee in addition acquires the right to have the indorsement of the transferor.
(5.) Where any person is under obligation to indorse a bill in a representative capacity, he may indorse the bill in such terms as to negative personal liability.

General Duties of the holder.

39. When presentment for acceptance is necessary

(1) Where a bill is payable after sight, presentment for acceptance is necessary in order to fix the maturity of the instrument.

(2) Where a bill expressly stipulates that it shall be presented for acceptance, or where a bill is drawn payable elsewhere than at the residence or place of business of the drawee, it must be presented for acceptance before it can be presented for payment.

(3) In no other case is presentment for acceptance necessary in order to render liable any party to the bill.

(4) Where the holder of a bill drawn payable elsewhere than at the place of business or residence of the drawee has not time, with the exercise of reasonable diligence, to present the bill for acceptance before presenting it for payment on the day that it falls due, the delay caused by presenting the bill for acceptance

before presenting it for payment is excused, and does not discharge the drawer and indorsers.

42. (1.) When a bill is duly presented for acceptance and is not accepted within the customary time, the person presenting it must treat it as dishonoured by non-acceptance. If he do not, the holder shall lose his right of recourse against the drawer and indorsers.

43. (1.) A bill is dishonoured by non-acceptance-
(a.) when it is duly presented for acceptance, and such an acceptance as is prescribed by this Act is refused or cannot be obtained; or
(b.) when presentment for acceptance is excused and the bill is not accepted.
(c.) Subject to the provisions of this Act when a bill is dishonoured by non-acceptance, an immediate right to recourse against the drawer and indorsers accrues to the holder, and no presentment for payment is necessary.

47. (1.) A bill is dishonoured by non-payment
(a.) when it is duly presented for payment and payment is refused or cannot be obtained, or
(b.) when presentment is excused and the bill is overdue and unpaid,

Discharge of bill

59 Payment in due course

(2) Payment in due course means payment to the holder of the bill made at or after the maturity thereof in good faith and without notice that the holder’s title is defective.

(4) Where an accommodation bill is paid in due course by the party accommodated

the bill is discharged.

64 Alteration of bill

(1) Where a bill or acceptance is materially altered without the assent of all parties liable on the bill, the bill is avoided except as against a party who has himself or herself made, authorised, or assented to the alteration, and subsequent indorsers: provided that, where a bill has been materially altered, but the alteration is not apparent, and the bill is in the hands of a holder in due course, such holder may avail himself or herself of the bill as if it had not been altered, and may enforce payment of it according to its original tenor.

(2) In particular the following alterations are material, namely, any alteration of the date, the sum payable, the time of payment, the place of payment, and, where a bill has been accepted generally, the addition of a place of payment without the acceptor’s assent.


Acceptance and payment for honour

65 Acceptance for honour supra protest

(1) Where a bill of exchange has been protested for dishonour by non-acceptance, or protested for better security, and is not overdue, any person, not being a party already liable thereon, may, with the consent of the holder, intervene and accept the bill supra protest, for the honour of any party liable thereon, or for the honour of the person on whose account the bill is drawn.

(2) A bill may be accepted for honour for part only of the sum for which it is drawn.

(3) An acceptance for honour supra protest in order to be valid must—

(a) be written on the bill, and indicate that it is an acceptance for honour; and

(b) be signed by the acceptor for honour.

(4) Where an acceptance for honour does not expressly state for whose honour it is

made, it is deemed to be an acceptance for the honour of the drawer.

(5) Where a bill payable after sight is accepted for honour, its maturity is calculated from the date of the noting for non-acceptance, and not from the date of the acceptance for honour.
