In legal terminology, a pledge refers to a bailment of goods as security for the payment of a debt or the performance of an obligation. It is an essential instrument in financial and commercial transactions, deeply rooted in both civil law and common law traditions. This essay explores the fundamental principles of pledge, its legal requirements, the rights and duties of the parties involved, and its practical applications in modern legal systems.

1. Definition and Nature of Pledge

A pledge is a specific type of contract wherein one party, the pledger (or pawnor), delivers possession of a movable asset to another party, the pledgee (or pawnee), as collateral for a debt or other obligation. Unlike a mortgage, which typically involves immovable property, a pledge exclusively concerns movable property.

The defining characteristic of a pledge lies in the transfer of possession but not ownership.
