The Law of Assignment is the leading text on the law relating to intangible property or choses in action. Its clear and approachable structure covers all forms of intangible property (debts, rights under contract, securities, intellectual property, leases, rights/causes of action and equitable rights), considering the nature of intangible property, how it comes into being and how it is transferred or assigned. The first part of the book analyses the general principles regarding intangibles and their transfer, and the second examines the practical considerations relating to particular types of intangibles, securities, insurance contracts, leases and intellectual property under the law. The third edition includes new chapters on powers of attorney and factoring, areas particularly important to legal practice. Other significant developments include the expansion of the chapter on leases to include leasing of chattels, and more material on securities, especially regarding the operation of settlement systems.

This new book is devoted to the law of assignment and looks at the transfer of a species of property known as choses in action (e.g. a debt, share or a patent). Historically, tangible personal property - particularly, land - has been regarded as economically the most significant, and assignment has not received the analytical and practical treatment that it merits. However, assignment of intangible property is a gowth area of practice and this book fills an important gap in the market for specialist treatment of this difficult area.

Law of Assignment

This new edition of The Law of Assignment provides a comprehensive treatment of the law relating to intangible property or choses in action. It considers all forms of intangible property (debts, rights under contract, securities, intellectual property, leases, rights/causes of action and equitable rights). The book considers the nature of intangible property, how it comes into being and how it is transferred or assigned. It considers the consequences of transfer, including what property cannot be transferred and the difficult question of priorities. The book's approach is both analytical and practical. The first parts of the book focus on general principles regarding intangibles and their transfer. The book then moves on to consider the law relating to particular types of intangibles, securities (paper, immobilized and dematerialized), insurance contracts, leases and intellectual property. There is an expanded section on the taking of security over intangibles, as well as new material on rights or causes of action to reflect recent developments in litigation finance and no-win/no-fee arrangements. The Equities chapter is expanded to cover the transferability of notes and other debt securities, while the section on assignability of debts is expanded to include practical treatment of factoring. Also included is new comparative European and US material.

Biometrics, Crime and Security (Law, Science and Society)

This book addresses the use of biometrics – including fingerprint identification, DNA identification and facial recognition – in the criminal justice system: balancing the need to ensure society is protected from harms, such as crime and terrorism, while also preserving individual rights. It offers a comprehensive discussion of biometric identification that includes a consideration of: basic scientific principles, their historical development, the perspectives of political philosophy, critical security and surveillance studies; but especially the relevant law, policy and regulatory issues. Developments in key jurisdictions where the technology has been implemented, including the United Kingdom, United States, Europe and Australia, are examined. This includes case studies relating to the implementation of new technology, policy, legislation, court judgements, and where available, empirical evaluations of the use of biometrics in criminal justice systems. Examples from non-western areas of the world are also considered. Accessibly written, this book will be of interest to undergraduate, postgraduate and research students, academic researchers, as well as professionals in government, security, legal and private sectors.

What if a single group of conspirators was behind nearly every political happening since World War II? What if this secret society of comprised leading men from every major industry, from oil to the media to the CIA? 8Men reveals the sinister possibilities that lurk in the shadows of recent American history. Franklin D. Roosevelt could have prevented the attack on Pearl Harbor; the same influencers who ensured John F. Kennedy’s election later orchestrated his assassination; the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s death was not, in fact, because of his leadership in the civil rights movement. Forget everything you think you know about the second half of the twentieth century, and follow young cadet Ricky Teed as he becomes embroiled in the dubious morals of the 8Men organization. A champion of old-fashioned patriotism, Teed follows orders like the soldier he is—until his missions start compromising his ideals. The goal of the 8Men is to preserve American values above foreign ideology. But how exactly is America greater than its foreign counterparts? And why is killing necessary to preserve this greatness?
