Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Section 3 covers specified unsecured debts and beneficial interests in movable property outside the claimant's possession that civil courts recognise as grounds for relief. The right to an account of a dissolved partnership and a claim for accrued unsecured rent are recognised examples. An existing decree is enforced through execution. A bare claim for unassessed contract damages is a mere right to sue.

Option feedback

Option A

The right to an account of a dissolved partnership qualifies. An existing decree is enforceable as a decree.

Option B

Accrued unsecured rent qualifies. The decree does not qualify as an actionable claim.

Option C

Accrued unsecured rent qualifies. A mere right to sue for unassessed damages does not.

Option D

The former partner's right to an account and the claim for accrued unsecured rent both qualify.
