| 单词 | Not negotiable |
| 释义 | 不可轉讓 1. On a bill of exchange, a phrase on the bill prohibiting its transfer, or indicating an intention that the bill should not be transferable: Bills of Exchange Ordinance (Cap 19) s 8(1). Sufficient indication of non-transferability is also evinced by the words ‘not transferable’ or ‘pay Jones only’. The Bills of Exchange Ordinance does not prescribe a test for determining whether other instruments are negotiable. It is for the courts to decide whether by mercantile usage an instrument has acquired the characteristics of a negotiable instrument: Edelstein v Schuler & Co [1902] 2 KB 144. 2. On a cheque, words often written across the instrument indicating that the cheque retains its transferability: Bills of Exchange Ordinance (Cap 19) s 81. Where a person takes a crossed cheque which bears on it the words ‘not negotiable’, he will not have, and will not be capable of giving, a better title to the cheque than that which the person from whom he took it had: s 81; Great Western Rly Co v London and County Banking Co [1901] AC 414 (HL). The legal effect of adding the words ‘not negotiable’ to a cheque is, therefore, not to impede transfer, but to perpetuate in the hands of any transferee whatever defect or infirmity of title may affect the person who first transferred the cheque with those words on it: Great Western Rly Co v London and County Banking Co, supra. If there was no defect in the payee’s title to the cheque, the drawer had no defence to the indorsee’s claim: Sum Wing Credits Ltd v Shun Yip Textiles Ltd & Anor (1988) HKC 405. See also Bills of exchange; Cheque; Crossing; Holder in due course; Negotiability; Non-negotiable instrument. 1. 就匯票而言，凡匯票上載有文句，禁止將該匯票移轉，或顯示該匯票應不可移轉的意向，則該匯票不可轉讓：《匯票條例》(第19章)第8(1)條。不可轉讓的足夠指明以「不可轉讓」或「只可繳付陳大文」等此類文字以作表達。《匯票條例》沒有訂明任何驗證以決定其他票據是否可轉讓。法庭須以商業使用來決定某票據是否已取得可流轉票據的特性：Edelstein v Schuler & Co [1902] 2 KB 144。 2. 在支票上，指通常在劃線票據上註有的字樣，以指明該支票保留其轉讓性。凡任何人取得票面註有“not negotiable”字樣的劃線支票，則他就該支票享有的所有權，以及他能夠給予別人的所有權，不得優於將該支票給予他的人所享有者：第81條；Great Western Rly Co v London and County Banking Co [1901] AC 414 (上議院)。在支票上註有「不可轉讓」字樣的法律效力不是阻礙轉讓，而是繼續留存在任何受讓人手上，不論所有權的缺陷或欠妥可影響首先轉讓有該等字樣的支票的人：Great Western Rly Co v London and County Banking Co, 見上文。如受款人就支票的所有權沒有任何缺陷，出票人對承背書人的申索即無可抗辯：Sum Wing Credits Ltd v Shun Yip Textiles Ltd & Anor (1988) HKC 405。另見Bills of exchange; Cheque; Crossing; Holder in due course; Negotiability; Non-negotiable instrument。 |
