Questão jurídica principal
Whether the claims from the sale of C.________ SA's assets were covered by the 2001 assignment in security to the bank.
Decisão extraída
Yes. Interpreted in good faith, the assignment covered the proceeds from the bulk sale of stock, equipment and goodwill, so the amounts belonged to the bank.
Fundamentação extraída
The clause covered current and future commercial claims arising from business relations with customers. The sale of stock and other assets in liquidation was economically equivalent to ordinary deliveries or sales; the buyer could be treated as a customer, and excluding such proceeds would defeat the security purpose of the assignment.
