Legal Terms - Endorsement
1. The process by which the details of a driving violation are recorded on an individual's driving licence. When the court mandates an endorsement for an offense that entails mandatory or discretionary disqualification, while the driver remains unqualified, the endorsement will additionally include the number of penalty points assigned for the purpose of totting up.
Upon the court's directive for disqualification, solely the specifics of the offense are recorded. The courts may mandate endorsement following a conviction for the majority of traffic violations, with the primary exceptions being parking infractions. In several instances, endorsement is obligatory unless there are extenuating circumstances, such as a sudden emergency, that justify its absence. A person whose license is subject to endorsement must present it to the court; failure to do so may result in suspension of the license. A driver with an endorsed license may petition for a new "clean" license after a specified duration, often four years, or eleven years for offenses related to drunken driving. According to the Road Traffic (New Drivers) Act 1995, effective 1 June 1997, a driver convicted of an endorsable offense who accumulates 6 or more penalty points within two years of obtaining a driving licence will have their licence revoked and must retake the driving test.
The endorsement of the holder on a bill of exchange is a crucial step in the negotiation or transfer of a bill payable to order. The endorsement requires the bill to be delivered to the transferee. An endorsement in blank consists solely of the holder's signature, rendering the bill payable to the bearer. A special endorsement designates the individual to whom (or to whose order) the bill is payable (e.g., “Pay X or order”). An endorser, via the endorsement of a bill, assumes specific responsibilities towards the holder or a subsequent endorser. 3. The annotation on a document regarding particulars about a subsequent transaction impacting the subject matter of that document. A beneficiary for whom a personal representative signs an assent of property may demand that the details of the assent be included on the document holding the probate or letters of administration. A buyer of a parcel inside a larger tract of land may necessitate a note or memorandum of the conveyance to be inscribed on the title deeds pertaining to the entire plot.
