Section - 6 - What Bills are Negotiable

(1) When a bill contains words prohibiting transfer or indicating an intention that it should not be transferable, it is valid as between the parties thereto, but is not negotiable.

(2) A negotiable bill may be payable either to order or to bearer.

(3) A bill is payable to bearer which is expressed to be so payable or on which the only or last endorsement is an endorsement in blank.

(4) A bill is payable to order which is expressed to be so payable or which is expressed to be payable to a particular person, and does not contain words prohibiting transfer or indicating an intention that it should not be transferable.

(5) Where a bill either originally or by endorsement is expressed to be payable to the order of a specified person, and not to him or his order, it is nevertheless payable to him or his order at his option.
