1. Negotiation is mainly defined as the transfer of an instrument in a particular form, wherein the transferee would become the holder. In any case, if the instrument is payable by order, it can further be negotiated through delivery of the goods with any necessary indorsement. In case, it is payable to the bearer, it can be negotiated through delivery (Mann & Roberts, n.d.). As per section 3-201 (a) of the Uniform Commercial Code, negotiation is the transfer of possession that may be voluntary or involuntary based on an instrument of a person who thereby would be entitled as the holder in case the possession has been obtained from any other person other than the receiver of the instrument.
