bill
to
Make provision about the types of things that are capable of being objects of personal property rights.
B e it enacted by the King’s most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:—
A thing (including a thing that is digital or electronic in nature) is not
prevented from being the object of personal property rights merely because
it is neither—
a thing in possession, nor
a thing in action.
This Act extends to England and Wales only.
This Act comes into force on the day on which it is passed.
This Act may be cited as the Property (Digital Assets etc) Act 2024.
