Section 7--104. Negotiable and Non-Negotiable Warehouse Receipt, Bill of Lading or Other Document of Title  


Latest version.
  • (1)  A warehouse receipt, bill of lading or other document of title is
      negotiable
             (a) if by its terms the goods are to be delivered to bearer or to
                 the order of a named person; or
             (b) where recognized in overseas trade, if it  runs  to  a  named
                 person or assigns.
        (2) Any other document is non-negotiable. A bill of lading in which it
      is  stated  that  the  goods are consigned to a named person is not made
      negotiable by a provision that  the  goods  are  to  be  delivered  only
      against a written order signed by the same or another named person.
