| 单词 | Chose in action |
| 释义 | 據法權產 Literally, thing in action. A thing recoverable by action, as contrasted with a chose in possession which is a thing of which a person may have not only ownership but also actual physical possession. The meaning of ‘chose in action’ has varied from time to time, but is now used to describe all personal rights of property which can only be claimed or enforced by action, and not by taking physical possession: HKSAR v Goh Swee Yan Angelina [2000] 2 HKC 711 (CA); Halsbury’s Laws of England, Vol 6 [1]. Examples include debts (Kwai Hung Realty Co Ltd v Kung Mo Ng [1998] 1 HKC 145), money held at bank, shares, negotiable instruments, right under a trust, legacies, policies of insurance, bills of lading, copyright (Oriental Press Group Ltd v Apple Daily Ltd [1998] 4 HKC 131 (CFA)), the right to sue for the performance of contractual promise. A cause of action in tort: Keller v Ying Wah Tak Holdings Ltd & Anor [1997] 3 HKC 301, HKLY 204.
