Extension: Digital assets, personal property and categorisation: the Property (Digital Assets etc) Act 2025

Record: kaal:position:2026-08-08-118 · 2026-08-08

Digital assets, personal property and categorisation states that digital assets disrupt the traditional two-category classification of personal property. This identifies the classification problem to which Kaal's definition of a Digital Object as rival digital information supplies a proposed property-style response. The source does not endorse that definition or establish that rivalry resolves every property question.

Affirmed commentary position. This record extends a source-bound scholarly claim but is not a verbatim paper claim.
