Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Treatise on the Law of Choses in Action: Together With an Appendix of Forms and Statutes In the initial tentative steps which were taken towards a fusion of Law and Equity, one of the earliest subjects dealt with was that of choses in action; and amid all the efforts which have been made, none has been more successful. The doctrines of Equity and Common Law have been assimilated in the highest degree, where, before, the divergence was very wide, and we now have choses in action as freely assignable at law, as they are in equity. The result of this assimilation is, that a greater activity is displayed in the assignment of debts, etc., since a debt is generally speaking, as easily recoverable in the hands of an assignee as if it remained in the hands of the original owner. As an evidence of the increase of transactions in assignments of choses in action, it may be mentioned that during the last four years more cases have appeared in our reports under this head, than appeared before that time. This important subject, however, has remained without a commentator, as no work has anywhere appeared treating of it. To supply the want of such a work, r have undertaken this Manual. In so doing, I look with confidence for the generous criticism of the profession. Besides being a subject, on which no other work than this has appeared, it is one of some difficulty. "The law upon this subject is brought to such an exquisite degree of refinement, that it is by no means easy to understand it," is what was said by Lord Justice Brett in Field v. Mesmer (L. R. 4 C. P., 664). About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
