| 单词 | Discharge of negotiable instrument |
| 释义 | 解除可流通票據 Complete extinguishment of all rights and liabilities on a negotiable instrument, terminating its life and negotiability. Distinguished from discharge of a party, discharge of the instrument extinguishes the instrument itself, rendering it a mere piece of paper of evidentiary value only. A negotiable instrument may be discharged by payment in due course (Bills of Exchange Ordinance (Cap 19) s 59(1)); when the acceptor of a bill is or becomes the holder of it at or after its maturity, in his own right (s 61); when the holder of a bill at or after its maturity absolutely and unconditionally renounces his rights against the acceptor (s 62(1)) or when a bill is intentionally cancelled by the holder or his agent, and the cancellation is apparent thereon (s 63(1)). The rules of common law apply to the discharge of negotiable instruments unless they are inconsistent with the express provisions of the Bill of Exchange Ordinance: s 102(2). An accord and satisfaction made between the holder and the principal debtor discharges the instrument. See also Cancellation; Discharge of party; Material alteration. 完全終絕可流通票據的所有權利和法律責任，並終止其有效期和流通性。與解除當事人的責任有別，解除票據會終絕有關票據，令致該票據僅屬具有證據價值的紙張。可解除可流通票據的方法包括按期付款：《匯票條例》（第19章）第 59(1)條；任何匯票的承兌人憑藉其本身權利，在該匯票的到期日或之後，作為或成為該匯票的持有人：（第61條）；任何匯票的持有人在該匯票的到期日或之後，絕對而無條件地放棄他對承兌人的權利 （第62(1)條），或持有人或其代理人蓄意取消匯票，而該項取消是在該匯票上明顯作出的（第63(1)條）。除非與《匯票條例》的明訂條文有抵觸，否則普通法的原則適用於解除可流通票據上：第 102(2)條。持票人與主要債務人之間訂立的協議和清償協議可解除有關的票據。另見 Cancellation; Discharge of party; Material alteration。 |
