1) A payee’s name is present in case of an order instrument (Clarkson, Miller & Cross, 2016). This payee must be an individual who would have the capability to endorse. There is the requirement of delivery of an order instrument. There is also the requirement of a signature to be endorsed by the payee so that the back of the order instrument would contain the signature. In case of a bearer instrument, there is the scope of negotiation by means of delivery. There is no mandatory requirement of the presence of endorsement in case of a bearer instrument because the instrument can be delivered by transferring it to the possession of a another person.
