Debts: (Assignor (Debtor) Creditor) (Debt of $100)

The document discusses the assignment of debt from A to C and how that assignment is treated differently in equity and at law. In equity, C could sue B to enforce the debt but had to join A to the proceedings. At law, the assignment needs to meet the requirements of the Conveyancing Act 1919, and if so, C can sue B directly without joining A to the proceedings.

DEBTS

(Assignor/ A B (Debtor)
Creditor) (Debt of $100)

(Assignment)

(Assignee) C

In Equity an assignment of a debt by A to C was always


permitted. When C sued B to enforce the debt, C had to
join A to the proceedings.

At Law an assignment of a debt needs to meet the


requirements of s 12 of the Conveyancing Act 1919. If
met, C can sue B directly and without the need to join A
to the proceedings.
