Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An equitable assignment is a transfer of a beneficial interest in a property, but in this scenario, the landscape architect does not hold a property interest that can be assigned. Instead, the architect has a contractual obligation to provide services, which cannot be assigned without the municipality's consent. Therefore, the legal mechanism required to effect the substitution of the architect would likely be a novation, not an equitable assignment.
