30th March 2026
3PB’s property and financial disputes barrister, Michael Vora, has written an article on The Property (Digital Assets etc) Act 2025 which came into force in December 2025, marking a significant development in the treatment of digital assets under English law.
He discusses how three months into its operation, the first judicial decisions applying the Act begun to shed light on how courts are interpreting and deploying the new statutory framework.
Michael examines the legal position prior to the Act, the nature of its intervention, and the emerging case law, with a particular focus on how courts are approaching the identification of digital assets as personal property and the consequences that flow from that recognition.
