Reading time: 2 minutes
Dr Hamish Patrick
The Scottish Law Commission’s Report on Moveable Transactions proposed reform for assignation of receivables, rents and other claims; and for a new form of fixed security interest over corporeal moveables, intellectual property, shares and other financial instruments.
Since its publication in December 2017, discussions have continued with a view to the Scottish government consulting and introducing legislation.
Following the report’s publication, Shepherd and Wedderburn Partner Dr Hamish Patrick, and Dr Andrew Steven, lead Scottish law commissioner on the project, produced an authoritative introduction to the reform proposals, which was published in Butterworths Journal of International Banking and Financial Law.
Dr Patrick and other members of Shepherd and Wedderburn’s banking and finance team continue to be involved in ongoing developments, and Dr Patrick recently published a further detailed article on the proposed reforms in International Corporate Rescue.
In this latest article, he discusses the proposed enforcement procedures, some of the issues surrounding priorities, post-insolvency assets and the possible extension of the proposed new security regime to further asset classes, such as petroleum licences.
