As well, it is acknowledged that the pledge may, optionally, be attested by a writing that will facilitate proof of it, and that publication of the pledge may even be supplemented by registration (art. 2707). In addition, the very acknowledgement that a claim may be hypothecated by handing over the negotiable instrument that represents it makes remittance of a writing an essential requirement for that kind of pledge. Accordingly, it seems to me to be incorrect to suggest that the writing is fundamentally inconsistent with the concept of pledge.
