Contractual claims represent a major tradable asset. The assignment of a claim is a mechanism, allowing a creditor to transfer its right to claim a debt to another person. The lecture will discuss the legal requirements for assignments, their proprietary effects and the position of third parties under Austrian law. A comparison of the essential aspects with the new Scottish law should show whether Austrian law could learn from it.
