Revised Article 9's Assignment Provisions: An Analysis

Chapter 4 of Revised Article 9, titled "Rights of Third Parties," deals with several issues affecting the assignment of accounts, leases, and other contract rights. See, in particular, Sections 9-403 to 9-409. These sections replace former Sections 9-206 and 9-318 and part of Section 2A-303. This article summarizes some of the key provisions of Chapter 4 of Revised Article 9, compares these provisions to former Article 9, and describes a few recent cases under this Chapter. Note that different rules apply in a consumer transaction or if the account debtor is an individual who incurred the obligation primarily for personal, family or household purposes; this article does not address these issues. In addition, this article does not address the assignment of a health care insurance receivable.
