There is no dispute that absent these extraordinary circumstances, a cause of action may be assigned and the assignee may bring the suit in its own name. See Gill v. Richmond Coop. Assn., Inc., 309 Mass. 73, 76 (1941); American Employers’ Ins. Co. v. Medford, 38 Mass. App. Ct. at 22. In a more recent case, Campione v. Wilson, 422 Mass. 185, 192-193 (1996), it was held that an assignment integrated into a settlement agreement with the assignor, as in the case here, is valid.
