Summary
This chapter summarises the principal argument of the book, that equitable assignment is a sui generis institution developed by the courts of Equity, and which has two principal effects. One, a ‘trust’ effect, and the other, an unusual ‘agency’ effect. This chapter also briefly explains Wesley Hohfeld'seight fundamental jural relations which will be applied in the analysis of the law in the following chapters.
