CHOSE

In law, chose (from the French shoz meaning a thing) is a property, a right to possession; or that which may be demanded and recovered by suit or action at law. Thus, money due on a bond or recompense for damage done is a chose in action; the former proceeding from an express, the latter from an implied contract. A chose local is annexed to a place, as a mill or the like; a chose transitory is a thing which is movable.
