French term

droits de creance

French to English Bus/Financial Finance (general) stock options/shares
I was fairly confident that there would be some Kudoz entries for this term, but if there are I didn't manage to find them - not for the exact term, anyway. My CE French-English Legal Dictionary defines this term as: the right to receive payment of a debt or performance of an obligation (among other things). I wondered whether there is a more concise translation when applied in a purely financial context? I have the rterm appearing in a list of terms (sadly no further context) in connection with stock options/shares etc. - the term appears right at the end.

Found in IATE under "droit de créance." Reference is "Rapport Jenard-Schlosser,JOCE C 59/1979,par.166" and reliability is 3/3. Make sure the language pairs are set right.
Peer comment(s):

neutral writeaway : thank you, my settings are correct, but IATE is playing up a bit (with Netscape). anyway, it may be that or it may be right to recover a debt (also in IATE) or even right to claim (in one of my legal dictionaries).

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "This did seem distinct possibility, so, lacking further context I used it with a note to check its other possible meanings. Thanks to all contributors."

Longer versions

right to receive payment of a debt or performance of an obligation; chose in action; claim; right in personam; obligation.

Ah...I've just re-read the question...I guess "Creditor's rights or just rights, given that the meaning is obvious from the context.

Rights if the company goes bankrupt? (Just a wild idea, that one.)

You don't like Mr Bridge's suggestion? I shall tell him! ;-)

(You should read his "disclaimer" at the start of the dictionary too.)
