Security over corporeal and incorporeal moveable property; assignation of incorporeal moveable property

This is a medium-term project in our Eighth Programme of Law Reform.
It covers the project on assignation and security over incorporeal moveable property (such as book debts) which was included in our Seventh Programme of Law Reform and adds to it the subject of security over corporeal moveable property. In all these areas and particularly in a commercial context the law appears cumbersome and in need of reform.
We have conducted preliminary discussions with interested groups, including the financial sector, about the underlying financial and economic background, current practices, and deficiencies that are thought to exist. We have also carried out comparative research to see how such issues are dealt with in other jurisdictions.
We are carrying out further research and working on a list of issues to be considered in the discussion paper.
