| 单词 | Negotiable instrument |
| 释义 | 可流轉票據 A document which evidences a chose in action, the rights pertaining to which can, by virtue of either custom or statute, be transferred by mere delivery of the document. The transferee who takes the instrument in good faith and for value receives a good title on it despite any defect in the title of the transferor, and can sue on it in his or her own name: Halsbury’s Laws of Hong Kong, Vol 3, Bills of Exchange and Other Negotiable Instruments [55.004]. The most common negotiable instruments are bills of exchange, cheques and promissory notes, the characteristics of which are embodied in the Bills of Exchange Ordinance (Cap 19). A negotiable instrument is a contract separate from any other contract which may give rise to the obligation to pay which the negotiable instrument is intended to discharge: York Airconditioning and Refrigeration Inc v Lam Kwai Hung (t/a North Sea Electrical Engineering Co) [1995] 1 HKC 287. See also Bearer debenture; Cheque; Chose in action; Payment order; Promissory note. 指證明據法權產的文件，關於藉習俗或法規，將權利由純粹的文件交付而轉移。真誠地付出代價而取得票據的受讓人接受妥善所有權，除了出讓人的所有權欠妥，並可以自身名義提出起訴：Halsbury’s Laws of Hong Kong, 第3冊，匯票與其他可轉讓票據，第[55.004]段。最常見的可流轉票據有匯票、支票及承付票，此等票據的特性載於《匯票條例》（第19章）。可流轉票據屬與其他合約不同的合約，後者可引起繳款的責任，而前者則意圖將該責任解除：York Airconditioning and Refrigeration Inc v Lam Kwai Hung (t/a North Sea Electrical Engineering Co) [1995] 1 HKC 287。另見 Bearer debenture; Cheque; Chose in action; Payment order; Promissory note。 |
