The position of the parties."This book explains the existence, meaning and application of the rules governing the assignment of contractual rights. The second edition is updated and retains the structure of the first edition, focusing on what is meant by 'assignment', the distinction between legal and equitable assignments, how an assignable contractual right is identified, what formalities apply to assignment, and what rights and remedies are available to the parties to an assignment. In reviewing the first edition, The Hon JD Heydon said 'it is essential reading for .. teachers, especially those who teach contract, equity and personal property. Above all, it should always be consulted--read carefully, slowly and repeatedly--by any practitioner facing an assignment problem. .. It is not only the best book ever written on its subject, but among the best monographs dealing with legal doctrine published in recent years' (2008) 30 Sydney Law Review 169."--Bloomsbury Publishing.Assignments (Law)ContractsContract lawAssignments (Law)Contracts.346.02/2Tolhurst Greg1797869UtOrBLWUtOrBLWUkLoBPBOOK9910975196403321The assignment of contractual rights4340356UNINA05095nam 22004573 450 991100177620332120250513080328.09781040358597(electronic bk.)9781032671161(MiAaPQ)EBC31911368(Au-PeEL)EBL31911368(CKB)38751832400041(OCoLC)1519994144(EXLCZ)993875183240004120250513d2025 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierManaging Public Pension Plans Decisions, Challenges, and Reforms1st ed.Oxford :Taylor & Francis Group,2025.©2025.1 online resource (227 pages)Routledge Public Budgeting and Finance SeriesPrint version: Chen, Gang Managing Public Pension Plans Oxford : Taylor & Francis Group,c2025 9781032671161 Cover -- Half Title -- Series Page -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- List of Figures -- List of Tables -- Acknowledgments -- 1.
