Chapter I

Negotiation of bills

31. Indorsement in blank and special indorsement

 

(1) An indorsement in blank specifies no indorsee, and a bill so indorsed becomes payable to bearer.

 

(2) A special indorsement specifies the person to whom, or to whose order, the bill is to be payable.

 

(3) The provisions of this Act relating to a payee apply with the necessary modifications to an indorsee under a special indorsement.

 

(4) If a bill has been indorsed in blank, any holder may convert the blank indorsement into a special indorsement by writing above the indorser's signature a direction to pay the bill to himself or his order or to some other person or the order of the latter.
