Driver v Broad: 1893

An agreement to create a floating charge counted as an interest in land. Kay LJ said that there was no distinction between a debenture which expressly gives the company liberty to dispose of the charged property ‘in the ordinary course of its business’ and one that does not. The concept was inherent in the term ‘floating security’ or ‘floating charge.’
