This sets out the formal requirements for an assignment to be a [[legal assignment]] and not merely an [[equitable assignment]]. Substantively, though, there's little difference between the two.
Section 136 [[Law of Property Act 1925]] sets out the formal requirements for an [[assignment]] to be a [[legal assignment]] and not merely an [[equitable assignment]]. The key advantage this brings is that the [[assignee]] can bring a court action to enforce the assigned right without joining the [[assignor]] in the proceedings. Other than that, though, there's little practical difference between the two.
