―To many students and practitioners of the common law privity of contract became a fetish.
As such, it operated to deprive many a claimant of a remedy in cases where according to themores of the time the claim was just.
Ithas made many learned men believe that a chose in actioncould not be assigned.Even now, it is gravely asserted that a man cannot be made the debtor of another against his will.
But the common law was gradually influenced by equity and by the lawmerchant, so that by assignment a debtor could become bound to pay a perfect stranger to himself,although until the legislature stepped in, the common-law courts characteristically made use of a

are ‗binding on the world‘ in the lawyer's traditional phrase. Contractual rights, on the other hand,
are only binding on, and enforceable by, the immediate parties to the contract. But this distinction,fundamental though it be, wears a little thin at times. On the one hand, there has been a constanttendency for contractual rights to be extended in their scope so as to affect more and more personswho cannot be regarded as parties to the transaction. On the other hand, few proprietary rights are
literally ‗binding on the world‘.‖ P.S. Atiyah, An Introduction to the Law of Contract 265 (3d ed.
―The doctrine of privity means that a person cannot acquire rights or be subject to liabilities
arising under a contract to which he is not a party.It does not mean that a contract between A and
B cannot affect the legal rights of C indirectly.‖
G.H. Treitel, The Law of Contract 538 (8th ed.1991).
