A post-writ assignment of pre-existing causes of action does not create new causes of action; therefore amendments to plead that the assignee now holds those causes of action are not automatically barred by the rule in Eshelby and are a matter for the court's discretion. The Court exercised that discretion and granted leave to amend.
