Case Study 5 (Chapter 17) Case 17.1: Hosch v. Colonial Pacific Leasing Corp. Edward Hosch entered into loan agreements with Citicapital Commercial Corp. to finance the purchase of heavy construction equipment. A few months later, Citicapital merged into GE Capital Commercial, Inc. One year later, GE Capital assigned Hoschs loans to Colonial Pacific Leasing Corp. When Hosch failed to pay, Colonial Pacific filed a suit in a Georgia state court to collect. The court issued a judgment in favor of Colonial Pacific. Hosch appealed. A state intermediate appellate court affirmed. A party may assign a contract right to collect payment. To be enforceable, the assignment must be in writing. In this case, GE Capital assigned Hoschs loans to Colonial Pacific. The evidence included a written assignment and other documents and testimony that the loans had been assigned. Questions What underlies the policy favoring the assignment of most contract rights?.
