JUDICIAL DECISIONS
No particular language needed for valid assignment of chose in action. —To constitute a valid assignment of a chose in action, either in toto or pro tanto, no particular form of words or formal instrument is necessary. Any language which makes an appropriation of the funds amounts to an equitable assignment. Salzburger Bank v. Standard Oil Co., 173 Ga. 722, 161 S. E. 584, 1931 Ga. LEXIS 390 (1931).
