En droit civil, la notion juridique qui se rapproche le plus de celle de la common law est la «cession de biens»; le résultat en est le même, mais la façon de procéder diffère. Dans la cession de biens, le débiteur traite directement avec ses créanciers alors que en common law, le débiteur fait intervenir un mandataire entre lui et ses créanciers. 5, record 1, French, - cession%20de%20biens%20au%20profit%20des%20cr%C3%A9anciers
