Governing law and jurisdiction clauses in commercial contracts―checklist

Governing law and jurisdiction clauses in commercial contracts―checklist This Checklist of resources sets out some of the issues when considering governing law and jurisdiction in the context of commercial contracts. Governing law and jurisdiction clauses are categorised as boilerplate clauses in an agreement. For more information on boilerplate clauses, see: Boilerplate clauses—overview. For details about the role of boilerplate clauses and approaches to reviewing and drafting common boilerplate clauses, see Practice Note: The role of boilerplate. A governing law clause (also known as an applicable law clause) is used to allow the parties to specify the substantive law that will apply to the interpretation of an agreement and, in the event of a dispute, in relation to it. For an example of a governing law clause, see Precedent: Governing law clause. The applicable law clause in a contract will usually be set out alongside a jurisdiction clause. It is important to note that jurisdiction and governing law are separate issues. A jurisdiction clause is necessary to allow the parties to...

Parliamentary procedure

Parliamentary procedure Types of Bill Most Bills are Public Bills, aimed at a change the law as it applies to everyone. Most Public Bills are government Bills, introduced by ministers either as part of their planned legislative programme, or in response to events. A Public Bill introduced by an MP or a Member of the House of Lords who is not a government minister is called a Private Member’s Bill. Relatively few Private Members’ Bills become law. It is important to keep Private Members’ Bills distinct from Private Bills. Private Bills aim at changing the law in a way that only affects particular individuals or organisations, rather than changing the general law affecting everyone. Each year a number of them are promoted in Parliament by outside organisations. For example, Transport for London (TfL) promoted the Transport for London Bill, aimed at giving TfL further financial and management powers. This Bill became the Transport for London Act 2016. Other examples are the University of London Bill, promoted...

What are unitranche facilities?

What are unitranche facilities? What is a unitranche facility? Leveraged finance transactions are traditionally funded by a mixture of equity, senior debt, mezzanine debt and/or bonds. A unitranche facility is effectively a blend of the senior and mezzanine portion of the financing although it can sometimes covers part of the equity too. Therefore, instead of two facilities agreements, covenant packages, sets of security documents etc, only one is required. Unitranche facilities are more common on mid-market deals. What are the typical terms of a unitranche facility? Unitranche facilities differ from deal to deal but some typical features are: • the facility will be in the form of a term loan; if a revolving credit facility (RCF) is also required it will normally be documented in the same agreement and share the same security package • bullet repayment or possibly with a back ended amortisation schedule • higher margin than senior debt but lower margin than mezzanine debt; margin may be a mixture of cash and PIK...

In a criminal appeal to the Crown Court, CrimPR 34.2(5) proves that 'unless the respondent agrees that the Court should allow the appeal' a respondent's notice must be filed. What are the consequences of failure to do so? Would the appeal be allowed by default? Is the respondent permitted to file and serve a respondent's notice after this time? Criminal Procedure Rule (CrimPR), SI 2020/759, r 34.2 is entitled ‘Service of appeal and respondent’s notices’. CrimPR, SI 2020/759, r 34.2(5) provides as follows: 'Where the appeal is against conviction or against a finding of guilt, unless the respondent agrees that the court should allow the appeal— (a) the respondent must serve a respondent's notice on— (i) the Crown Court officer; and (ii) the appellant; and (b) the respondent must serve that notice not more than 15 business days after service of the appeal notice.'
