36  Negotiation of bill

 (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 or her 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 or she may indorse the bill in such terms as to negative personal liability.
