Q&As
In the context of the 'rights, liabilities and obligations' of a party to a contract being transferred (contractually) entirely to another party, is the phrase '[transfer] the entire legal and beneficial interest [in the contract]', sufficient to cover all of the rights, liabilities and obligations being so transferred? Does the phrase, 'legal and beneficial interest', include the rights, liabilities and obligations terms or not at all?
