Insurance
This phrase comes from an explanation of an interdependency clause in an insurance contract.
"Att framställa krav å annans vägnar är emellertid något annat än att äga fordran."
Do we 'own' a claim in the context of insurance, or is another verb more appropriate here?
Thanks in advance,
Richard

have the rights of a named beneficiary
Looks to me like it is talking about a named beneficiary, so I would say it is "...have the rights of a named beneficiary." or something simular to this.
