The [[pledgee]] takes a “special” proprietary legal interest in the assets, though, but does ''not'' take legal title to them. The key factor is [[possession]]. This makes a pledge kind of awkward where the debtor wants to carry on holding or using the asset — in that case, a [[floating charge]] or an [[assignment by way of security]] is better — but you do see it (as for example in the {{1995csd}} — though that document is far less popular than the non-pledge {{1994csa}}, which is a straight out [[title transfer collateral arrangement]].) | The [[pledgee]] takes a “special” proprietary legal interest in the assets, though, but does ''not'' take legal title to them.
