United States Fifth Circuit
CADDO PARISH-VILLAS SOUTH, LTD. v. BEAL BANK, S.S.B., 00-10959
The right to enforce a negotiable instrument is not a strictly personal obligation, so it therefore may be assigned, and where there is an assignment of all rights, the assignee obtains all the rights that the assignor had at the time of the assignment, including the right of enforceability.
