A chose in action or thing in action[7][8] 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.

Things in action
Property that is theoretically owed to someone by virtue of a legal right to sue. The property involved is often money. Thus, someone with a tort claim has a thing in action until either a court issues final judgment or the period for suing has expired.

What is THINGS IN ACTION?

a term for a creditor’s right to be paid by a debtor and a right to possession that is recoverable by a law suit.

“Thing in Action"

A thing in action is essentially a right to sue. It is an intangible personal property right recognized and protected by the law, that has no existence apart from the recognition given by the law, and that confers no present possession of a tangible object. Another term is a "chose in action".

AlexSV, this is A thing in action, which is a legal term. No need to change it.
