Definition :

Assignee, means one to whom property rights or powers are transferred by another use of the term is so widespread that it is difficult to ascribe positive meaning to it with any specification. Courts recognize the protean nature of the term and are therefore often forced to look to the intent of the assignor and assignee in making the assignment, rather than to the formality of the use of the term assignee in defining rights and responsibilities, Black Law Dictionary 7th Edn., p. 114.
