44  Indorsement where payee or indorsee misdescribed
  Where, in a cheque payable to order:
 (a) the payee or an indorsee is wrongly designated; or
 (b) the name of the payee or an indorsee is misspelt;
the payee or indorsee, as the case may be (in this section referred to as the relevant person), may indorse the cheque in accordance with section 41, but using the designation or spelling in the cheque. The relevant person may also add his or her proper signature, but this is not necessary for the indorsement to be effective.
