2021 Illinois Compiled Statutes|Chapter 810 - COMMERCIAL CODE|810 ILCS 5/ - Uniform Commercial Code.|Article 3 - Negotiable Instruments

 (from Ch. 26, par. 3-110)Sec. 3-110.     Identification of person to whom instrument is payable.(a) The person to whom an instrument is initially payable is determined  by the intent of the person, whether or not authorized, signing as, or in  the name or behalf of, the issuer of the instrument.  The instrument is  payable to the person intended by the signer even if that person is  identified in the instrument by a name or other identification that is not  that of the intended person.  If more than one person signs in the name or  behalf of the issuer of an instrument and all the signers do not intend the  same person as payee, the instrument is payable to any person intended by  one or more of the signers.(b) If the signature of the issuer of an instrument is made by automated  means, such as a checkwriting machine, the payee of the instrument is  determined by the intent of the person who supplied the name or  identification of the payee, whether or not authorized to do so.(c) A person to whom an instrument is payable may be identified in any  way including by name, identifying number, office, or account number.  For  the purpose of determining the holder of an instrument, the following rules  apply:(1) If an instrument is payable to an account and the     account is identified only by number, the instrument is payable to the person to whom the account is payable.  If an instrument is payable to an account identified by number and by the name of a person, the instrument is payable to the named person, whether or not that person is the owner of the account identified by number.(2) If an instrument is payable to:(i) a trust, an estate, or a person described as         trustee or representative of a trust or estate, the instrument is payable to the trustee, the representative, or a successor of either, whether or not the beneficiary or estate is also named;(ii) a person described as agent or similar         representative of a named or identified person, the instrument is payable to the represented person, the representative, or a successor of the representative;(iii) a fund or organization that is not a legal         entity, the instrument is payable to a representative of the members of the fund or organization; or(iv) an office or to a person described as         holding an office, the instrument is payable to the named person, the incumbent of the office, or a successor to the incumbent.(d) If an instrument is payable to 2 or more persons alternatively, it  is payable to any of them and may be negotiated, discharged, or enforced by  any or all of them in possession of the instrument.  If an instrument is  payable to 2 or more persons not alternatively, it is payable to all of  them and may be negotiated, discharged, or enforced only by all of them.  If an instrument payable to 2 or more persons is ambiguous as to whether it  is payable to the persons alternatively, the instrument is payable to the  persons alternatively.

If no place of payment is stated, an instrument is payable at  the address of the drawee or maker stated in the instrument.  If no address  is stated, the place of payment is the place of business of the drawee or  maker.  If a drawee or maker has more than one place of business, the place  of payment is any place of business of the drawee or maker chosen by the  person entitled to enforce the instrument.  If the drawee or maker has no  place of business, the place of payment is the residence of the drawee or  maker.    (Source: P.A. 87-582.)

Interest.(a) Unless otherwise provided in the instrument, (i) an instrument is  not payable with interest, and (ii) interest on an interest-bearing  instrument is payable from the date of the instrument.(b) Interest may be stated in an instrument as a fixed or variable  amount of money or it may be expressed as a fixed or variable rate or  rates.  The amount or rate of interest may be stated or described in the  instrument in any manner and may require reference to information not  contained in the instrument.

If an incomplete instrument is not an instrument under  Section 3-104, but, after completion, the requirements of Section 3-104 are  met, the instrument may be enforced according to its terms as augmented  by completion.(c) If words or numbers are added to an incomplete instrument without  authority of the signer, there is an alteration of the incomplete  instrument under Section 3-407.(d) The burden of establishing that words or numbers were added to an  incomplete instrument without authority of the signer is on the person  asserting the lack of authority.

Subject to  applicable law regarding exclusion of proof of contemporaneous or previous  agreements, the obligation of a party to an instrument to pay the  instrument may be modified, supplemented, or nullified by a separate  agreement of the obligor and a person entitled to enforce the instrument,  if the instrument is issued or the obligation is incurred in reliance on the  agreement or as part of the same transaction giving rise to the agreement.

Negotiation.(a) "Negotiation" means a transfer of possession, whether voluntary or  involuntary, of an instrument by a person other than the issuer to a  person who thereby becomes its holder.(b) Except for negotiation by a remitter, if an instrument is payable to  an identified person, negotiation requires transfer of possession of the  instrument and its indorsement by the holder.

 (from Ch. 26, par. 3-203)Sec. 3-203.     Transfer of instrument; rights acquired by transfer.(a) An instrument is transferred when it is delivered by a person other  than its issuer for the purpose of giving to the person receiving delivery  the right to enforce the instrument.(b) Transfer of an instrument, whether or not the transfer is a  negotiation, vests in the transferee any right of the transferor to enforce  the instrument, including any right as a holder in due course, but the  transferee cannot acquire rights of a holder in due course by a transfer,  directly or indirectly, from a holder in due course if the transferee  engaged in fraud or illegality affecting the instrument.(c) Unless otherwise agreed, if an instrument is transferred for value  and the transferee does not become a holder because of lack of indorsement  by the transferor, the transferee has a specifically enforceable right to  the unqualified indorsement of the transferor, but negotiation of the  instrument does not occur until the indorsement is made.(d) If a transferor purports to transfer less than the entire  instrument, negotiation of the instrument does not occur.  The transferee  obtains no rights under this Article and has only the rights of a partial  assignee.    (Source: P.A. 87-582; 87-1135.)

 (from Ch. 26, par. 3-204)Sec. 3-204.     Indorsement.(a) "Indorsement" means a signature, other than that of a signer as  maker, drawer, or acceptor, that alone or accompanied by other words is  made on an instrument for the purpose of (i) negotiating the instrument,  (ii) restricting payment of the instrument, or (iii) incurring indorser's  liability on the instrument, but regardless of the intent of the signer, a  signature and its accompanying words is an indorsement unless the  accompanying words, terms of the instrument, place of the  signature, or other circumstances unambiguously indicate that the signature  was made for a purpose other than indorsement.  For the purpose of  determining whether a signature is made on an instrument, a paper affixed  to the instrument is a part of the instrument.(b) "Indorser" means a person who makes an indorsement.(c) For the purpose of determining whether the transferee of an  instrument is a holder, an indorsement that transfers a security interest in  the instrument is effective as an unqualified indorsement of the instrument.(d) If an instrument is payable to a holder under a name that is not the  name of the holder, indorsement may be made by the holder in the name  stated in the instrument or in the holder's name or both, but signature in  both names may be required by a person paying or taking the instrument for  value or collection.

 (from Ch. 26, par. 3-205)Sec. 3-205.     Special indorsement; blank indorsement; anomalous indorsement.(a) If an indorsement is made by the holder of an instrument, whether  payable to an identified person or payable to bearer, and the indorsement  identifies a person to whom it makes the instrument payable, it is a  "special indorsement".  When specially indorsed, an instrument becomes  payable to the identified person and may be negotiated only by the  indorsement of that person.  The principles stated in Section 3-110 apply  to special indorsements.(b) If an indorsement is made by the holder of an instrument and it is  not a special indorsement, it is a "blank indorsement".  When indorsed in  blank, an instrument becomes payable to bearer and may be negotiated by  transfer of possession alone until specially indorsed.(c) The holder may convert a blank indorsement that consists only of a  signature into a special indorsement by writing, above the signature of the  indorser, words identifying the person to whom the instrument is made payable.(d) "Anomalous indorsement" means an indorsement made by a person that  is not the holder of the instrument.  An anomalous indorsement does not  affect the manner in which the instrument may be negotiated.    (Source: P.A. 87-582.)

A former holder  who reacquires the instrument may cancel indorsements made after the reacquirer  first became a holder of the instrument.  If the cancellation causes the  instrument to be payable to the reacquirer or to bearer, the reacquirer may  negotiate the instrument.  An indorser whose indorsement is canceled is  discharged, and the discharge is effective against any subsequent holder.    (Source: P.A. 87-582; 87-895; 87-1135.)

"Person  entitled to enforce" an instrument means (i) the holder of  the instrument, (ii) a nonholder in possession of the instrument  who has the rights of a holder, or (iii) a person not in possession  of the instrument who is entitled to enforce the instrument pursuant  to Section 3-309 or 3-418(d).  A person may be a person entitled  to enforce the instrument even though the person is not the owner  of the instrument or is in wrongful possession of the  instrument.    (Source: P.A. 87-582.)

 (from Ch. 26, par. 3-302)Sec. 3-302.     Holder in due course.(a) Subject to subsection (c) and Section 3-106(d), "holder in due  course" means the holder of an instrument if:(1) the instrument when issued or negotiated to the     holder does not bear such apparent evidence of forgery or alteration or is not otherwise so irregular or incomplete as to call into question its authenticity, and(2) the holder took the instrument (i) for value,     (ii) in good faith, (iii) without notice that the instrument is overdue or has been dishonored or that there is an uncured default with respect to payment of another instrument issued as part of the same series, (iv) without notice that the instrument contains an unauthorized signature or has been altered, (v) without notice of any claim to the instrument described in Section 3-306, and (vi) without notice that any party has a defense or claim in recoupment stated in Section 3-305(a).(b) Notice of discharge of a party, other than discharge in an  insolvency proceeding, is not notice of a defense under subsection (a), but  discharge is effective against a person who became a holder in due course  with notice of the discharge.  Public filing or recording of a document  does not of itself constitute notice of a defense, claim in recoupment, or  claim to the instrument.(c) Except to the extent a transferor or predecessor in interest has  rights as a holder in due course, a person does not acquire rights of a  holder in due course of an instrument taken (i) by legal process or by  purchase at an execution, bankruptcy, or creditor's sale or similar  proceeding, (ii) by purchase as part of a bulk transaction not in the ordinary  course of business of the transferor, or (iii) as the successor in interest  to an estate or other organization.(d) If, under Section 3-303(a)(1), the promise of performance that is  the consideration for an instrument has been partially performed, the  holder may assert rights as a holder in due course of the instrument only  to the fraction of the amount payable under the instrument equal to the  value of the partial performance divided by the value of the promised  performance.(e) If (i) the person entitled to enforce an instrument has only a  security interest in the instrument and (ii) the person obliged to pay the  instrument has a defense, claim in recoupment, or claim to the instrument  that may be asserted against the person who granted the security interest,  the person entitled to enforce the instrument may assert rights as a holder  in due course only to an amount payable under the instrument which, at the  time of enforcement of the instrument, does not exceed the amount of the  unpaid obligation secured.(f) To be effective, notice must be received at a time and in a manner  that gives a reasonable opportunity to act on it.(g) This Section is subject to any law limiting status as a holder in  due course in particular classes of transactions.
