Definition

Contractual segregation refers to the practice of separating different types of contracts or agreements within a legal framework. This is often done in order to protect the interests of the parties involved and to clearly define their rights and obligations.

For example, in the banking industry, contractual segregation may be used to separate different types of assets or liabilities. This can help to ensure that certain obligations, such as deposits, are ring-fenced and protected from other risks or losses.

Contractual segregation can also be applied to other areas, such as intellectual property rights, where separate agreements may be put in place for different aspects of a company's intellectual property.

Overall, contractual segregation is a legal mechanism that enables parties to clearly define and protect their rights and obligations within a contract or agreement.
