Bills of Exchange Act, 1964 (Act No. 34 of 1964)Chapter INegotiation of bills32. Restrictive indorsement |
| (1) | An indorsement is restrictive if it prohibits the further negotiation of the bill, or if it expresses that it is a mere authority to deal with the bill as thereby directed, and not a transfer of the ownership thereof, as, for example, if a bill is indorsed "Pay D. only", or "Pay D. for the account of X.", or "Pay D. or order for collection." |
| (2) | A restrictive indorsement gives the indorsee the right to receive payment of the bill, and to sue any party thereto that his indorser could have sued, but gives him no power to transfer his rights as indorsee, unless it expressly authorizes him to do so. |
| (3) | If a restrictive indorsement authorizes further transfer, all subsequent indorsees take the bill with the same rights, and subject to the same liabilities, as the first indorsee under the restrictive indorsement. |
