By signing the back of the check and adding the notation "without recourse," Belle has effectively disclaimed any liability for the check, meaning that she cannot be held responsible if the check is dishonored. However, this does not affect the negotiability of the check. Accordingly, further negotiation of the check can occur through delivery alone, without the need for Belle's re-indorsement or Charmayne's indorsement and delivery.
