Where the endorsement contains the words “valeur en recouvrement”, “pour encaissement”, “par procuration”, or any other words implying a simple mandate, the bearer may exercise all the rights arising from the cheque, but may only endorse the cheque by way of power of attorney.
In this case, the debtors may only invoke against the bearer the defences that may be invoked against the endorser.
The mandate contained in an endorsement of a power of attorney is not terminated by the death or incapacity of the principal.
