Convenience, I think. Instead of bringing so much cash, you just bring along a small piece of paper-check, and a ball pen. Another is negotiability where it could change hands from one to another.
Endorsement on a check signifies the transfer of rights to another party. A properly endorsed check becomes negotiable, allowing it to be cashed or deposited by someone other than the payee. Different types of endorsements determine how negotiable a check is.
A third party check can only be deposited provided it is properly endorsed and its apparent tenor does not contain any bar to effect its negotiability. Laws regarding to collection of Old Checks differ within countries as in Pakistan the period is six months (after which the instrument becomes stale). Relevant state laws are to be consulted in this respect.
There are certain documents of title with limited negotiability which are also widely used in commercial transactions but have been held to be non-negotiable because they do not have the requisites that are essential under the Negotiable Instruments Law. They are beyond the scope of the Negotiable Instruments Law and are, therefore, governed by other laws. Among such documents are the following: Letter of credit, Treasury warrant, Postal money order, Bill of Lading, Certificate of Stock, and Warehouse receipt.
Hi, Meaning of Negotiation: According to Section 14 of the Negotiable Instrument Act, 1881 when a promissory-note, bill of exchange or cheque is transferred to any person so as to constitute that person the holder thereof, the instrument is said to be negotiated. A negotiable instrument may be transferred in either of two ways, viz. 1. By negotiation under this Act (Section 14, 46, 47, 48). A negotiable instrument may be negotiated either by delivery, when it is payable to bearer or by endorsement and delivery when it is payable to order; or 2. By assignment of the instrument: When a person transfers his right to receive the payment of a debt, 'assignment of the debt' lakes place. Thus where the holder of an instrument transfers it to another so as to confer a right on the transferee to receive the payment of the instrument, transfer by assignment takes place. (The Negotiable Instruments Act does not deal with transfer of negotiable instruments by assignment). Differences between negotiability and assignability: The following are the differences between Negotiability and Assignability. 1. In negotiation consideration is presumed. In assignment consideration must be proved. 2. In case of transfer by negotiation, the transferee acquires all the rights of a holder in due course; where tile case of transfer by assignment, the assignee does not acquire the rights of a holder in due course, but has only the right of his assignor. 3. Notice of transfer to the debtor by the transferee is not necessary. The acceptor of a bill and the maker of a note are liable on maturity to the holder in due course of the assignment in case of negotiation. In assignment it does not bind the debtor unless notice of the assignment has been given by the assignee to the debtor, and the debtor has, expressly or implied, assented to it. In negotiation the instruments payable to bearer are negotiated by mere delivery and instruments payable to order are negotiated by endorsement and delivery. In an assignment it can be made only in writing either on the instrument itself or in a separate document transferring to the assignee the transferor's rights in the instrument. Rakesh R. Sharma.
AWB stands for Air Waybill, which is a non-negotiable transport document used in air freight that serves as a receipt for the goods and a contract between the shipper and the carrier. BL stands for Bill of Lading, which is a negotiable transport document used in sea freight that serves as a receipt for the goods and evidence of the contract of carriage. The main difference is the mode of transport they are used in and their negotiability.
MOTION TO DISMISS COUNT I.Defendant moves to dismiss count I of Plaintiff's complaint to re-establish a lost promissory note for failure to state a cause of action.29. Florida Statutes Chapter 673 "applies to negotiable instruments."30. F.S. 673.1041(1)(c) defines the term "negotiable instrument" as an unconditional promise or order to pay a fixed amount of money, if the instrument does not state any other undertaking or instruction by the person promising or ordering payment to do any act in addition to the payment of money. (emphasis added)31. F.S. 673.1041(2) provides that "instrument" means a "negotiable instrument".32. The official comment to F.S. 673.1041 states that the definition of "negotiable instrument" delineates the scope of Article 3 of the Uniform Commercial Code.33. The promissory note that the plaintiff seeks to foreclose is not a negotiable instrument under Florida law because the note is not just a promise to pay as it requires additional undertakings by the owner and holder of the note imposed pursuant to the special default loan servicing obligations that apply to this loan. These special and highly detailed loan servicing requirements are incorporated into the subject note and serve to create uncertainty in the amount due. As a result, the promissory note is not a negotiable instrument and not subject to reestablishment under the Uniform Commercial Code.34. A promissory note to be negotiable, must contain an unconditional promise and there must be a specific ascertainable sum. The uncertainty presented by the terms of the note at issue in this foreclosure defeat negotiability of the note and eliminates the possibility of the application of F.S. Chapter 673 in an action to enforce the note. Nagel v. Cronebaugh, 782 So. 2d 436 (Fla. 5th DCA 2001), citing United Nat'l Bank of Miami v. Airport Plaza Ltd.
