Positioned within contract law, this work deals with the assignment of things in action - debts, contractual rights, etc. It deals only with voluntary assignment and not compulsory assignment as with bankruptcy or liquidation. This book is intended for the practitioner who has a problem, issue or case involving the voluntary assignment of things in action, either in giving advice or preparing litigation. Following the approach of titles such as Chitty on Contracts, this work enables the practitioner to find a statement of the law and then (if necessary) the authority that supports it. New for this edition: A consideration of the potential effects of Brexit and the Small Business, Enterprise and Employment Act 2015; Incorporation of new statutory and case law since the last edition; Added references to UK-based text (Snell's Equity) for the benefit of practitioners of English law. - Publisher's website.
