person or otherwise prohibiting further transfer or negotiation of the instrument is not effective

when it is delivered by a person other than its issuer for the purpose of giving to the person
receiving delivery the right to enforce the instrument. (b) Transfer of an instrument, whether

7-3-308
Section 7-3-308 Proof of signatures and status as holder in due course. (a) In an action with
respect to an instrument, the authenticity of, and authority to make, each signature on the
instrument is admitted unless specifically denied in the pleadings. If the validity of a signature
is denied in the pleadings, the burden of establishing validity is on the person claiming
validity, but the signature is presumed to be authentic and authorized unless the action is
to enforce the liability of the purported signer and the signer is dead or incompetent at
the time of trial of the issue of validity of the signature. If an action to enforce the instrument
is brought against a person as the undisclosed principal of a person who signed the instrument
as a party to the instrument, the plaintiff has the burden of establishing that the defendant
is liable on the instrument as a represented person under Section 7-3-402(a). (b) If the validity
of signatures is admitted or proved and there is...
