Negotiable instruments thru law
Bills of Lading as negotiable instruments law.
A bill of lading is very frequently entitled a negotiable instrument. However ,even though it does acquire some of the superioritys of negotiability , it is not severely one self-governing of decree. The bill of lading may be classified to be a written acknowledgement by a regular carrier of the receipt of convinced goods explained there. Moreover, an agreement is for shipping them to their place of destination to be there transported in good order to the consignee or his consigns. Hence , a dual character, being both a receipt and contract for the carriage of goods. As a receipt ,it has become, under the power of commercial norm, a icon of property and exceeds title to the goods by delivery in the same mode as if the goods were themselves delivered[1].
I believe that the bill of lading is also a carriage’s contract ,otherwise, it is a proof of carriage’s contract .However, If the bill of lading is negotiable, as regularly occurs in carriage by sea, it can have power over goods’s ownership .Moreover it is one of the essential articles in the financing’s movement of commodities and merchandise.
