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...

This Practice Note considers the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments applying common law. It explains the requirement for new enforcement proceedings in England and Wales with the foreign judgment as the cause of action. The Practice Note sets out the conditions that need to be met and the common defences that may be raised in relation to a claim to recognise and enforce a foreign judgment. The Practice Note also considers the issue of whether security for costs is available and whether the court should grant a stay pending further court hearings in the foreign court.It is important to check whether a different enforcement regime applies in preference to the common law. For guidance, see: Which regime applies to enforce a foreign judgment?—checklist.When is the common law used?When seeking to enforce a foreign court judgment in England and Wales, it is first necessary to identify which regime applies. There are a number of different statutory regimes which apply variously to specified countries. However, where a judgment creditor wants to...
This Practice Note looks at the most common method of enforcement of an adjudication decision—bringing a Part 7 claim and a summary judgment application in the TCC, as provided for in section 9 of the TCC Guide. It also considers the ability to enforce a decision by seeking a mandatory injunction and the effect of a foreign jurisdiction clause on adjudication enforcement proceedings.Although a Part 7 claim is the normal, and preferable, method of enforcement of an adjudication decision, there are some rarely used alternative methods for enforcement. Parties can apply to the TCC for declaratory relief under CPR Part 8 if there is unlikely to be a substantial dispute of fact and no monetary judgment is sought—see Practice Note: Adjudication and Part 8 proceedings. For guidance on seeking compliance with the decision by issuing a statutory demand or insolvency proceedings, see Practice Note: Adjudication enforcement—use of insolvency proceedings.Why enforcement is necessaryUnder the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996 (HGCRA 1996), a valid adjudicator’s decision is binding and enforceable...

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...
What is the position of a security holder if the company that created the security is dissolved? This Q&A focuses on the impact the dissolution of a security provider can have on the ability of a security holder to effectively enforce its security. It also considers the position of a receiver appointed by the security holder prior to the dissolution of the relevant company. Summary If a security provider is dissolved as a matter of English law it is normally still possible for the security holder to enforce the security it holds by exercising the mortgagee’s power of sale. There may be circumstances in any particular case that make an application to restore the dissolved company to the register desirable to protect the security holder’s position. Circumstances where this issue commonly arises The problems associated with a security provider being dissolved while security is in force occur most often in real estate finance and other asset finance transactions. Typically, these issues arise where a special purpose...
