About this Course

A negotiable instrument is transferable with a simple procedure requiring just a signature and delivery. This module begins with a short introduction of negotiable instruments and its kinds. We then walk you through what are promissory notes, bills of exchange and cheques. The subsequent chapters of this module will give you an in-depth understanding of the difference between negotiation and assignment, endorsement, ambiguous and inchoate instruments, holder and holder-in-due-course and the consequences of a negotiable instrument being dishonoured. The two important terms—'noting' and 'protest' are discussed in detail in the last part of this module.

This module includes 42 videos and all relevant sections. It also includes practice exercises, examination pointers, mind maps and flashcards along with the full text of cases.
