Chris was indebted to Kirk for a loan of $1,000. Kirk assigned Chris' promise to pay to Bryce. Payment by Chris to Kirk of the $1,000 before notice in writing of the assignment was given to Chris would require Bryce to recover the payment from Kirk, as he could not sue Chris for the money.

Since Chris was not notified in writing about the assignment of the debt to Bryce before making the payment to Kirk, Chris's obligation is considered fulfilled. Bryce would need to seek recovery from Kirk, as Chris cannot be held liable for the payment after fulfilling his obligation to the original party he was aware of.
