This clue might be a double definition.

'bill eg favours me through point' is the first definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'court' is the second definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for endorsee that I've seen before include "he eventually gets cheque" , "One to whom cheque is assigned" , "one given money?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
