The term 'Legal Representative' in Section 29 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881

Section 29 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 makes a legal representative of a deceased person who signs a negotiable instrument personally liable on it, unless he expressly limits his liability to the assets he has received as such. "Legal representative" here has its ordinary meaning, the person who in law represents the estate of the deceased, and that covers both an executor appointed by a will and an administrator appointed by the court. There is no basis for including one and excluding the other.
