BILLS OF EXCHANGE ACT 1882 - SECT 31

31.(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 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 may indorse the bill in such terms as to negative personal
liability.
