Có 3 loại: blank B/E (hối phiếu trao tay) and name hoặc order B/E (hối phiếu định danh),
endorse B/E
- Đối với To order B/E: chuyển nhượng (bán) đc vì nó là 1 tài sản nhưng phải ra văn phòng
công chứng nhưng ko phải bằng trao tay hay endorsement --> Việc bán Phúc tạp và ko phổ biến
=> Hạn chế trong vấn đề giao dịch nhưng lại an toàn giống như vận đơn => To order B/E là 1 loại hối phiếu phổ biến

Nếu trong trường hợp đk thanh toán là in advance --> Ko dùng B/E đc vì theo luật người bán phải hoàn tất
trách nhiệm giao hàng rồi thì mới đòi tiền đc (hoàn tất nghĩa vụ trên hợp đồng - cơ sở của nghĩa vụ kinh tế)

 The legal holder can sue in his own name.
 • In writing and signed by the person issuing the instrument
 Notice of transfer need not be given to the party liable on the
instrument. Thông báo chuyển giao không cần thiết phải được gửi cho bên chịu trách nhiệm về phương tiện. Nếu vi phạm 1 trong những điều này thì hối phiếu ko có giá trị thanh toán và
ko thể đi lấy tiền đc
 The title passes free of all equities or counterclaims between previous

Quyền sở hữu được chuyển giao mà không có bất kỳ quyền sở hữu hoặc yêu cầu phản tố nào giữa các bàn và người mua (giao hàng trễ,...) --> Giải quyết bằng hợp đồng nhưng vẫn phải trả tiền
bên trước đó mà bên nhận chuyển nhượng không có thông báo. trước rồi tính sau
Hối phiếu có thể đc bán cho bank hoặc người khác --> Người mua luôn luôn cũng phải trả tiền dù hàng có
hư hỏng hay tới chậm gì đó --> B/E luôn luôn có giá trị thanh toán (payable) và đc thoải mái mua bán trên
7 8 thị trường => Luật luôn luôn quy định là "unconditional promise to pay"
Ở 1 số nền kinh tế phát triển, bất cứ ai cũng có quyền issue hối phiếu đòi tiền mà ko cần bất cứ hợp đồng
thương mại nào hết. Why? --> Ở VN ko cho phép vì ko dựa trên 1 hợp đồng mua bán, ở nước khác thì luật
pháp quy định người chịu trách nhiệm trả tiền cuối cùng cho tờ hối phiếu là người bán (drawer) --> Sau này
người mua hối phiếu từ drawer ko đòi tiền đc từ drawee thì người đó có quyền đi đòi tiền drawer -->
Flexibility --> dễ dàng cho doanh nghiệp đòi tiền bất cứ lúc nào

Các công cụ này là do chủ thể của hợp đồng mua bán issue, ko phải bank
--> who is the drawer? --> Depend on what kind of negotiable instrument

1/ Phải có chữ này (theo luật VN và các nước châu Âu), nếu ký phát ở Anh thì ko cần thiết phải có => Căn cứ vào địa điểm ghi trên B/E (nếu có) vì đây là căn cứ cho việc chọn luật áp dụng, nếu ko có thì dựa vào
địa chỉ ghi bên cạnh tên của người lập ra hối phiếu (drawer), nếu ko có luôn thì xem thử drawer đăng ký kinh doanh ở đâu --> Ở nước nào thì luật nước đó đc áp dụng
2/ Draft number --> Cần phải có để quản lý
3/ Ngày ký phát hối phiếu (phải trùng hoặc sau ngày giao hàng thực tế --> căn cứ vào vận đơn: đường biển (FOB, CIF, CFR) thì căn cứ vào ngày onboard, nếu đường hàng ko hoặc đường sắt (bộ) thì căn cứ vào
ngày nhận hàng xếp (ngày ghi kế bên Receive for shipment date)
4/ Số tiền: Nếu khác giữa số và chữ --> Tùy theo luật của quốc gia, theo TQ thì hối phiếu invalid - ko có giá trị đòi tiền, còn luật VN thì thanh toán số tiền nhỏ hơn (nhưng đc thanh toán hay ko thì còn phụ thuộc vào
việc hối phiếu đó đc sử dụng phương thức thanh toán nào (phụ thuộc vào luật áp dụng nữa) --> Học sau
5/ Thời hạn thanh toán: Xảy ra 2 trường hợp trả ngay (on demand) và trả sau. Trả sau có 3 trường hợp: Thứ nhất là vào 1 ngày cố định (hiếm khi đc sd vì khó fix ngày thanh toán do khó fix ngày giao hàng), Thứ 2
là 30/60 ngày kể từ ngày nhìn thấy hối phiếu này, Thứ 3 là 30 ngày kể từ ngày giao hàng khi nhìn thấy tờ hối phiếu này (ngày ghi trên hối phiếu cũng là ngày giao hàng) --> TH này thì làm cho tờ hối phiếu hạn chế
tính negotiable vì người nhận đc chuyển nhượng ko phải là 1 bên trong hợp đồng mua bán nên cũng ko biết
PARTIES TO BILL OF EXCHANGE
ngày giao hàng. Nhưng VN hay dùng cách này vì ở VN doanh nghiệp chỉ bán hối phiếu cho ngân hàng thôi nhưng ở thị trường khác thì ko dùng --> để tính flexible tốt hơn.

 A Bill of Exchange can either be payable immediately or at some future  A promissory note is a written promise by one party, the maker,
date. to pay a specified amount of money to another party, the payee,
