Simpson (as assignee of Alan Catchpole) v Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital NHS Trust [2011] EWCA Civ 1149;  [2011] WLR (D)  294

“A claim for damages for personal injury was a chose in action capable of assignment. The law would not, however, recognise on the grounds of public policy an assignment to a party who did not have sufficient interest to support what would otherwise be a bare right of action.”
