Art/Literary - Law (general) / Property law
English term or phrase: Things in action
“Property” includes money and all other property, real or personal, including things in action and other intangible property.
A chose in action or thing in action is a right to sue. It has been made trite law, since Torkington v Magee, that a chose in action is a legal expression used to describe all personal rights of property which can only be claimed or enforced by action.
John Farebrother

direitos (que possam ser reclamados judicialmente)
Explanation:
«assegurar a guarda dos bens ou a colocar sob o seu controlo todos os
bens e direitos que a empresa possa ou pareça poder reclamar judicialmente».
'take into his custody or under his control
all the property and things in action to which the company is or appears to be
entitled'.
https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELE...
https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/PT/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELE...


The common law concept of "things in action" has no equivalent in civil law. Its equivalent in common law in French is "choses non possessoires", [...]
La notion de « things in action » n'a pas d'équivalent en droit civil, mais elle en a un en common law en français qui n'est pas rendu.

direitos


Explanation:
I'd translate it to "direitos" because "intangible property" appears at the end...

#chose in action | (civil procedure) direito que pode ser cobrado por meio de ação civil [MerriamWebster’s Dictionary of Law , p. 76]. Pode-se traduzir simplesmente por direito ou bem intangível [Kinsella, N. Stephan. A Civil Law to Common Law Dictionary, p. 25].

thing(s) / chose(s) in action
direitos de ação


Explanation:
like a money debt, copyright, a registered company share or a right to sue that is actionable by suing and needs to be assigned in writing, as opposed to a thing or chose in possession -like a bearer company share - that be transferred by actgaul delivery of physical possession.

Otherwise, Snell's Equity as a standard textbook - preferably obtianable cheaply second-hand - and Curzon's English Law Dictionary contain classic definitions of the difference.

Note that the translations of cause of action POR/SPA -> ENG are IMO only one side of the coin or are flawed.

Example sentence(s):
  • IATE: pt direito de ação Consilium en right of action
  • IATE: fr droit d'action CdT en chose in action

Explanation:
Acredito que caiba nesse contexto, já que adiciona no comentário também "and other intangible property".
