Securitization: The Conflict Between Personal And Market Law (Contract And Property), Tamar Frankel Jan 1999

Securitization: The Conflict Between Personal And Market Law (Contract And Property), Tamar Frankel

Faculty Scholarship

The road to securitization - transforming debt and loans into securities - is littered with obstacles. These obstacles seem unrelated. Yet, upon reflection, many legal and business problems arising in the securitization process can be traced to one source: the inherent conflict between contract law governing personal relations among creditors and debtors, and property law governing the same relations converted into "commodities" issued or traded in the market among investors. Identical terms can be characterized as contract loans in personal context, and as personal property (securities or bonds) in market context.
