Assignation of claimsS

1Assignation of claims: generalS

(1)The assignation of a claim requires the execution or authentication of a document assigning the claim (an “assignation document”) by the person assigning it.

(2)The assignation document must identify the claim.

(3)But an assignation document which assigns a number of claims need not identify each claim separately provided that the document identifies the claims in terms of their constituting an identifiable class.

(4)It is competent to assign a claim which, at the time the assignation document is granted, is not held by the assignor (whether or not the claim yet exists at that time).

(5)For the purposes of subsection (2), the ways in which the claim can be identified in the assignation document include by making reference in the assignation document to another document, the terms of which are not reproduced.

[F1(6)This Part applies to the assignation of a claim as part of a financial collateral arrangement, within the meaning of regulation 3(1) of the Financial Collateral Arrangements (No.2) Regulations 2003 (S.I. 2003/3226), only under and in accordance with the Moveable Transactions (Scotland) Act 2023 (Financial Collateral Arrangements and Financial Instruments) (Consequential Provisions and Modifications) Order 2025 (S.I. 2025/275 (S. 1)).]
