Bills of Exchange Act 1949 s 22

s 22 Capacity of parties

22.—(1) Capacity to incur liability as a party to a bill is coextensive with capacity to contract. (2) Nothing in this section shall enable a corporation to make itself liable as drawer, acceptor, or indorser of a bill unless it is competent to it to do so under the law for the time being in force relating to corporations. (3) Where a bill is drawn or indorsed by a person below the age of 18 years or a corporation having no capacity or power to incur liability on a bill, the drawing or indorsement entitles the holder to receive payment of the bill, and to enforce it against any other party thereto.[7/2009]
