Facts: Fitzroy was the director of a company called Cork Mineral Development.
Cave was a co-director and local mgr of the company. Fitzroy is dissatisfied with
Cave's work. Cave has various debts against him. Fitzroy decides to take the
assignment of 5 debts owed to 5 different creditors, in order to get an
adjudication in bankruptcy against Cave, and so get him removed from the
directorate of the company. The lower court found for the Df, that the assignment
was not valid. Pl appeals.
○ Main argument that Cave made: He's not doing this for the money, but only
to get rid of me at the company. B/c when he sues me, and I can't pay, I'll be
driven into bankruptcy, and then I'll lose my job.
RULE: Most rights that anyone wants to assign (e.g. debts) are automatically
assignable without question
