Section 25: Person signing as agent or representative
consolidated text (as at 2011, amended since). juris shows the text as it was consolidated; it does not confirm that this is the law in force today.
25. Person signing as agent or representative
(1) Where a person signs a bill as drawer, indorser or acceptor, and adds
words to his signature, indicating that he signs for or on behalf of a principal,
or in a representative character, he is not personally liable but the mere addition to his signature of words describing him as an agent, or as filling a representative character, does not exempt him from personal liability.
(2) In determining whether a signature on a bill is that of the principal or
that of the agent by whose hand it is written, the interpretation most favourable to the validity of the instrument shall be adopted.
