Bill of Exchange

Bill of Exchange. Defined in the (English) Bills of Exchange Act, 1882 (45 & 46 Vict. c. 61), s. 3, as an 'unconditional order in writing, addressed by one person to another, signed by the person giving it, requiring the person to whom it is addressed to pay on demand or at a fixed or determinable future time a sum certain in money to or to the order of a specified person, or to bearer.'It is a chose in action, but, for the encouragement of commerce, it is assignable, at Common Law, by mere endorsement, so that very many names are frequently attached to one bill as endorsers, and each of them is liable to be sued upon the bill, if it be not paid in due time. the person who makes or draws the bill is called the drawer, he to whom it is addressed is, before acceptance, the drawee, and after accepting it, the acceptor; the person in whose favour it is drawn is the payee; if he endorse the bill to another, he is called the endorser, and the person to whom it is thus assigned or negotiated ...

Ad valorem

Ad valorem, a term used in speaking of the duties or customs paid on certain goods (see e.g. (English) Import Duties Act, 1932 (22 Geo. 5, c. 8); the duties on some Articles are paid by the number, weight, measure, tale, etc., and those on others are paid ad valorem--that is, according to their value. The term is used also of stamp duties, which, in many cases--e.g., in the case of an award, a bill of exchange, a conveyance or transfer, and a lease--are payable under the Stamp Act, 1891, according to the value of the subject-matter of the particular instruments or writings. See STAMP DUTIES.The phrase 'ad valorem' appearing in the column 'rate of duty' in the Schedule appended to the Act refers to the value of the excisable goods and, therefore, it will have to be worked out by applying the formula as laid down in s. 4(4)(d) of the Central Excise Act, State of Goa v. Calfox Laboratories, (2004) 9 SCC 83 (98): AIR 2004 SC 45. [Central Excise Act, 1944, s. 4(4)(d)]...
