Franklin Corp. sold money orders to drugstores. The money orders contained the words, "Payable to," followed by a blank. Can the money order qualify as a negotiable instrument?

What will be an ideal response?


Yes, the money order can qualify as a negotiable instrument. Under the revised Article 3 of the Uniform Commercial Code, an instrument that otherwise meets the requirements for a negotiable instrument and also meets the definition of a check can be negotiable even if it is not "payable to order." The Uniform Commercial Code treats checks, which are payment instruments, as negotiable instruments whether or not they contain the words "to the order of."

For that reason, the company included several warnings in the packaging accompanying the vapourizer, and even had a large and explicit warning right on the machine.
