Pre-completion in loan transactions—checklist

Pre-completion in loan transactions—checklist Stop Press: We are aware of issues with security filings at Companies House not showing up on the charges register in some cases. We suggest cross checking the charges register against the filings history as part of any due diligence checks. The first significant step towards completion in a loan transaction is 'signing'. Signing is the point at which the parties execute the agreed versions of the documents and the deal becomes binding (albeit, in most cases, subject to certain conditions precedent being satisfied). For more information, see Practice Notes: How to arrange execution of the finance documents in a loan transaction and Signing and completion phase in loan transactions. After signing, the parties will proceed to satisfying the conditions precedent to funding. For more information, see Practice Notes: Conditions precedent and Conditions precedent phase in loan transactions. Once the conditions precedent have been satisfied, the lender's lawyers will perform the final pre-completion searches before funding. For more information, see Practice Note: How to conduct pre-completion...

Forming a limited partnership and continuing obligations

This Practice Note discusses the formation of a limited partnership under the Limited Partnerships Act 1907 (LPA 1907). It also covers, among other things, the requirements in relation to a limited partnership’s name, trading disclosures and accounts.With effect from 6 April 2017, LPA 1907 was amended by the Legislative Reform (Private Fund Limited Partnerships) Order 2017, SI 2017/514 (LRO). A draft of the LRO was first published in January 2017 by HM Treasury together with an accompanying explanatory document. The LRO was published further to a government consultation which commenced in July 2015 and concluded in October 2015 on proposed changes to UK limited partnership legislation to make such partnerships more effective vehicles for private equity and venture capital investments. These changes which were implemented by the LRO apply only to those limited partnerships which are designated as private fund limited partnerships (PFLPs). This Practice Note reflects therefore the provisions of LPA 1907 as amended by the LRO in respect of the inclusion of PFLPs in the English limited partnership...

The nature of a limited partnership and its legal framework

Sources of limited partnership lawThe main body of law governing a limited partnership formed under English law (as opposed to a general partnership, a limited liability partnership or a general partnership formed under Scottish law) is the Limited Partnerships Act 1907 (LPA 1907). However, it is not a complete code of the law on limited partnerships and expressly preserves the provisions of the Partnership Act 1890 (PA 1890) and rules of equity and common law applicable to partnerships, except where they are inconsistent with the express provisions of the LPA 1907.As is the case for general partnerships, there will often be a written agreement between the partners setting out the rights and duties of the partners between themselves although this is not obligatory, save where the limited partnership is designated as a private fund limited partnership (see Practice Note: Limited partnership agreements). Both the LPA 1907 and the PA 1890 set out a number of provisions that will apply if no specific agreement is entered into. These default provisions or...

An application for permission to appeal a District Judge's decision was refused by a Circuit Judge after an oral hearing. What is the further route of appeal, if any?

An application for permission to appeal a District Judge's decision was refused by a Circuit Judge after an oral hearing. What is the further route of appeal, if any? Appeals in cases governed by the CPR are dealt with procedurally in CPR 52 and the various associated practice directions. CPR 52.4 provides that where an application for permission to appeal is made to an appeal court other than the Court of Appeal, the appeal court will determine the application on paper (CPR 52.4(1)) but, unless following the paper assessment the appeal is dismissed as being totally without merit by a High Court Judge, Designated Civil Judge or Specialist Circuit Judge (CPR 52.3), the person seeking permission may request that the decision be reconsidered at an oral hearing. For further information, see Practice Notes: Starting an appeal—destination of civil appeals and Permission to appeal—the application. The statutory underpinning of CPR 52 is section 54 of the Access to Justice Act 1999 (AJA 1999). This provides that rules of court...
