The United Kingdom and Australia have recently implemented legislative changes to permit external administrators to assign or sell causes of action available to them. The reforms were directed at bolstering the negotiating position of external administrators, enhancing director accountability and, importantly, allowing added ‘value of [liquidators’ rights of action] to be realised’. [1] With the benefit of almost five years of implementation in the UK and over three years in Australia, we explore key aspects of both regimes with a view to leveraging this collective experience to assist practitioners to effectively realise the value of their rights of action and maximise returns to creditors in both jurisdictions.
The assignment of claims
Put simply, the assignment of a claim involves the transfer of a cause of action from the company or its external administrator to a third party (commonly a litigation funder) for a purchase price. Following the assignment, the claim is pursued in the name of the purchaser with no requirement for further external administrator involvement (unless agreed), contribution or exposure.
What claims can be assigned?
External administrators in the UK and Australia have historically had power to dispose of a company’s property (including a cause of action) by way of assignment. The recent legislative changes further supplement this power by allowing external administrators to also assign causes of action that are conferred on them personally. Following these changes, the claims that are capable of assignment can be summarised as follows.
It must also be noted that certain claims cannot be assigned. For example, in both the UK and Australia, it is not possible to assign causes of action under a contract that expressly prohibits assignment. In the UK, it is not possible to assign rights to appeal against the imposition of a tax liability. In Australia, a company’s un-assignable statutory cause of action (e.g. a misleading and deceptive conduct claim) cannot be assigned merely because that company is in external administration, and there is also conflicting authority on whether an external administrator is permitted to assign a claim for breach of directors’ duties.
Why assign?
The post-implementation experience in both jurisdictions supports the proposition that, as intended, assignments do improve external administrators’ ability to effectively ‘realise the value of their rights of action’ by providing them with an additional tool for the monetisation of claims. Notwithstanding the adoption of lawyers’ damages-based and contingency fee agreements in the UK and solicitors’ conditional costs agreements in Australia, there remains a significant proportion of legal claims which external administrators would ordinarily be unable to pursue due to funding and other constraints. However, with the benefit of assignment, external administrators:
Consequently, the ability to assign claims leads to better outcomes for creditors, external administrators and other stakeholders.
Assignment structure
Although there are a number of ways to structure the purchase of a claim, we suggest that the following are the most commonly negotiated arrangements:
In our experience, the ‘split payment’ structure is most commonly used in the UK, whereas in Australia the use of the above options is more evenly spread. Every claim and administration will have different characteristics which may invite a different assignment structure. Therefore, we advocate for a flexible approach to assignment negotiations. By way of illustration, an upfront payment provides certainty and eliminates risk, but at a discounted price; whereas a contingent structure shares the risk and delay but offers a potentially greater return. External administrators should consider their priorities, and that of the creditors, before settling on a preferred assignment structure.
Assignment pricing
In the absence of an active market for legal claims, an objective and transparent valuation of a claim is critical to an external administrator’s assessment of its sale price. In our experience, this is best achieved through a discounted cashflow methodology, [2] using the anticipated cashflows from the cause of action (i.e. likely quantum of the claim or settlement), adjusted for outputs (i.e. legal costs, after-the-event insurance, security for costs, administrator’s fees), risk (i.e. litigation risk, enforcement risk) and time.
With the benefit of clear and transparent modelling, an objective price for the claim can be assessed, negotiated and compared with other monetisation options (like using the administration’s resources to fund the claim or obtaining litigation funding).
LCM case study
The future of assignments
The assignment markets in the UK and Australia are growing and gaining momentum. The benefit of the collective experience in these jurisdictions offers further opportunities to continue to develop the ‘toolkit’ available to external administrators. This toolkit better assists external administrators to ‘realise the value of their rights of action’, thereby maximising returns to creditors and improving outcomes for all stakeholders.

Let’s start with the basics. If you, as a homeowner, sustain property damage or losses because of a covered event (like a fire, for example), you will need your home repaired. You choose a contractor or restoration company to do the work – but the check from the insurance company has not come through yet, and you need them to start right away. So, what can you do?
You can sign an “assignment of claim,” which assigns your rights (as the policyholder) to benefits and proceeds from the loss, to the company or contractors. In the simplest of terms, the assignment of claim allows your contractor to get paid directly from the insurance company.
However, many contractors and purchasers of the damaged property have found themselves in a tight spot over the years, because of something called the anti-transfer clause. As explained on the Tennessee Insurance Litigation Blog , the anti-transfer clause usually reads something like this: “Your rights and duties under this policy may not be transferred without our written consent except in the case of death of an individual named insured.” Sometimes, the insurance company requires written consent before an assignment of claim can be made.
This clause routinely allows insurers to deny payments to contractors – but it shouldn’t, when an assignment of claim is made post-loss.
The Courts of Tennessee have routinely ruled on behalf of contractors and purchasers who were assigned the claim after the loss occurred. That is because the original assignee – the homeowner – was approved by the insurance company in the first place, and because the damage occurred regardless. There was no additional risk for the insurance company. Therefore, even if the contractor has a long and storied history of rule-breaking (or even criminal activity), the homeowner can assign the claim however he or she chooses; after all, the loss already happened.
Where insurance companies can (and do) have a leg up is for pre-loss assignments. The insurance company underwrote the risk on Bob and Jane Homeowner because it felt confident enough to do so. Bob and Jane cannot assign their policy to another person without the approval of the insurer, even when no loss has occurred.
Even if there is an anti-transfer clause in your policy, the chances are very good that a post-loss assignment cannot be legally denied by your insurer. If it is, seek out an experienced insurance dispute lawyer to help you argue the denial.
In some cases, the insurance company may decide that the amount of your loss is worth less than the cost of the renovations for which the contractor is charging. If this happens, you could be on the hook for the remainder of the costs, depending, of course, on the language of the deal with your contractor.
Because of this risk, it’s wise to contact an attorney before making any decisions. Get informed about your rights from the start, and let your lawyer address any potential hiccups along the way. If your insurer lowballs your claim, your attorney can handle the dispute , to ensure that you are compensated fairly.

32.800 scope of subpart..
This subpart prescribes policies and procedures for the assignment of claims under the Assignment of Claims Act of1940, as amended, ( 31 U.S.C.3727 , 41 U.S.C. 6305 ) (hereafter referred to as "the Act").
Designated agency , as used in this subpart, means any department or agency of the executive branch of the United States Government (see 32.803 (d)).
No-setoff commitment , as used in this subpart, means a contractual undertaking that, to the extent permitted by the Act, payments by the designated agency to the assignee under an assignment of claims will not be reduced to liquidate the indebtedness of the contractor to the Government.
Under the Assignment of Claims Act, a contractor may assign moneys due or to become due under a contract if all the following conditions are met:
(a) The contract specifies payments aggregating $1,000 or more.
(b) The assignment is made to a bank, trust company, or other financing institution, including any Federal lending agency.
(c) The contract does not prohibit the assignment.
(d) Unless otherwise expressly permitted in the contract, the assignment-
(1) Covers all unpaid amounts payable under the contract;
(2) Is made only to one party, except that any assignment may be made to one party as agent or trustee for two or more parties participating in the financing of the contract; and
(3) Is not subject to further assignment.
(e) The assignee sends a written notice of assignment together with a true copy of the assignment instrument to the-
(1) Contracting officer or the agency head;
(2) Surety on any bond applicable to the contract; and
(3) Disbursing officer designated in the contract to make payment.
(a) Any assignment of claims that has been made under the Act to any type of financing institution listed in 32.802 (b) may thereafter be further assigned and reassigned to any such institution if the conditions in 32.802 (d) and (e) continue to be met.
(b) A contract may prohibit the assignment of claims if the agency determines the prohibition to be in the Government’s interest.
(c) Under a requirements or indefinite quantity type contract that authorizes ordering and payment by multiple Government activities, amounts due for individual orders for $1,000 or more may be assigned.
(d) Any contract of a designated agency (see FAR 32.801 ), except a contract under which full payment has been made, may include a no-setoff commitment only when a determination of need is made by the head of the agency, in accordance with the Presidential delegation of authority dated October 3,1995, and after such determination has been published in the Federal Register. The Presidential delegation makes such determinations of need subject to further guidance issued by the Office of Federal Procurement Policy. The following guidance has been provided:
Use of the no-setoff provision may be appropriate to facilitate the national defense; in the event of a national emergency or natural disaster; or when the use of the no-setoff provision may facilitate private financing of contract performance. However, in the event an offeror is significantly indebted to the United States, the contracting officer should consider whether the inclusion of the no-setoff commitment in a particular contract is in the best interests of the United States. In such an event, the contracting officer should consult with the Government officer(s) responsible for collecting the debt(s).
(e) When an assigned contract does not include a no-setoff commitment, the Government may apply against payments to the assignee any liability of the contractor to the Government arising independently of the assigned contract if the liability existed at the time notice of the assignment was received even though that liability had not yet matured so as to be due and payable.
(a) No payments made by the Government to the assignee under any contract assigned in accordance with the Act may be recovered on account of any liability of the contractor to the Government. This immunity of the assignee is effective whether the contractor’s liability arises from or independently of the assigned contract.
(b) Except as provided in paragraph (c) of this section, the inclusion of a no-setoff commitment in an assigned contract entitles the assignee to receive contract payments free of reduction or setoff for-
(1) Any liability of the contractor to the Government arising independently of the contract; and
(2) Any of the following liabilities of the contractor to the Government arising from the assigned contract:
(i) Renegotiation under any statute or contract clause.
(ii) Fines.
(iii) Penalties, exclusive of amounts that may be collected or withheld from the contractor under, or for failure to comply with, the terms of the contract.
(iv) Taxes or social security contributions.
(v) Withholding or nonwithholding of taxes or social security contributions.
(c) In some circumstances, a setoff may be appropriate even though the assigned contract includes a no-setoff commitment; e.g.-
(1) When the assignee has neither made a loan under the assignment nor made a commitment to do so; or
(2) To the extent that the amount due on the contract exceeds the amount of any loans made or expected to be made under a firm commitment for financing.
(a) Assignments.
(1) Assignments by corporations shall be-
(i) Executed by an authorized representative;
(ii) Attested by the secretary or the assistant secretary of the corporation; and
(iii) Impressed with the corporate seal or accompanied by a true copy of the resolution of the corporation’s board of directors authorizing the signing representative to execute the assignment.
(2) Assignments by a partnership may be signed by one partner, if the assignment is accompanied by adequate evidence that the signer is a general partner of the partnership and is authorized to execute assignments on behalf of the partner-ship.
(3) Assignments by an individual shall be signed by that individual and the signature acknowledged before a notary public or other person authorized to administer oaths.
(b) Filing. The assignee shall forward to each party specified in 32.802 (e) an original and three copies of the notice of assignment, together with one true copy of the instrument of assignment. The true copy shall be a certified duplicate or photostat copy of the original assignment.
