Aim of this flowchart Under section 19 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, anyone who carries on a regulated activity in the UK in the course of business, without an applicable exclusion or exemption, must hold authorisation from the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) and/or the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). This requirement is referred to as the general prohibition. For further detail on the general prohibition and the scope of regulated activities, consult the Practice Notes: The general prohibition and implications of its breach, and What are regulated activities? This flowchart is intended to assist in deciding whether a person is undertaking the regulated activities of effecting and carrying out contracts of insurance as principal, pursuant to article 10(1) and (2) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Regulated Activities) Order 2001 (SI 2001/544) (RAO).

Wilkinson, R (On the Application Of) v London Borough of Enfield [2024] EWHC 1193 (Admin) What are the practical implications of this case? The practical consequences are that principal local authorities holding title to parkland within their districts and in their area on long leases, which are held on statutory trusts for public recreation for the enjoyment of the public, also possess broad powers under LGA 1972, Pt VII to grant leases to companies and may dispose of such land under LGA 1972, released from statutory trusts under PHA 1875. Moreover, local authorities are not constrained in how they apply any receipts from entering into those leases, are under no duty whatsoever to re-invest the proceeds in the remainder of a particular park or in other parks locally, and may instead transfer the monies to their general funds. Given the financial position of many principal local authorities, they might be inclined, following the Enfield ruling, to ‘sell off’ substantial sections of public parks that fall within these statutory...

Drawing on proforma data across 28 frameworks and six case studies, the review concluded that, although the frameworks support effective intergovernmental collaboration, there is scope to enhance cross-framework alignment, stakeholder participation and central guidance. It also observed that many processes within the frameworks remain untried, with limited examples of formal dispute resolution or managing divergence, and recommends continued evaluation as the frameworks mature.

ARCHIVED : This Practice Note has been archived and is not maintained . The Commercial Rent (Coronavirus) Act 2022 (CR(C)A 2022) preserves and broadens the safeguards afforded to commercial tenants during the coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis. It achieves this by ringfencing rent and service charge arrears built up while premises were mandated to shut, and by creating a statutory arbitration scheme through which sums can be written down or repayment postponed. A moratorium on landlord remedies also applies to shield tenants whilst arbitration is ongoing. Core provisions of CR(C)A 2022, together with the government’s Commercial rent code of practice following the COVID-19 pandemic (the Code), are outlined below. The government has additionally published statutory guidance on the Act’s terms. The window to commence arbitration has now closed, and with it the moratorium on landlord remedies where no reference was lodged. The moratorium endures for arrears that were referred in time (see Moratorium on landlord’s remedies). A Property Litigation Association survey reported very low take-up of the scheme, with markedly fewer...

Practice Note This Practice Note sets out the principal drafting, negotiating and legal considerations for a typical bilateral debenture issued for a particular deal with a single security provider. It is equally applicable to syndicated and all monies debentures, and to arrangements involving several security providers. Here, the security provider is called the Chargor and the secured party the Lender. It also signposts answers to commonly asked questions. A debenture is commonly used when the lender seeks security over a company’s entire asset base. For introductory guidance on debentures—what a debenture entails and who may grant one—see Practice Note: Key features of debentures. For broader guidance on preparing and negotiating security documents, including selecting an appropriate precedent and early-stage considerations, see Practice Note: How to draft and negotiate security documents in loan transactions. Debentures vary in structure, yet they tend to share similar provisions and usually adopt a common core format. For ease of use, the corresponding clause references are included in our Debenture: single company chargor—bilateral—specific monies. This...

This Practice Note outlines: the various forms of share security the principal enforcement options available to security holders practical factors for security holders when choosing appropriate enforcement mechanics further considerations for security holders depending on the context Forms of share security There are three primary categories of security that can be created over shares: (a) a charge, (b) a legal mortgage and (c) an equitable mortgage, each considered below. Historically, a pledge over shares was also possible. A pledge involves delivering possession of an asset as security for the repayment of a monetary debt. This was feasible where bearer shares existed. However, from 26 May 2015, under section 779 of the Companies Act 2006, companies have been prohibited from issuing bearer shares. Holders of bearer shares were granted until 26 February 2016 to surrender them and convert into registered shares (for further information, see News Analysis: Bearer shares—how to avoid a grizzly ending). Charge A charge arises from...

Where a tenant makes an encroachment onto neighbouring land owned by a third party adjacent to the demised land, the appropriation is treated as accruing to the benefit of the tenant’s landlord. In Tower Hamlets LBC v Barrett [2006] P&CR 132 (not reported by LexisNexis®), Neuberger LJ observed at para [26] that the doctrine is clearly articulated in these terms: in every case—whether the enclosed land is part of the waste, belongs to the landlord, or is owned by someone else—the presumption is that the tenant enclosed it for the landlord’s advantage, unless the tenant has carried out some act disclaiming the landlord’s title...

Sale by PRs or appropriation to beneficiaries We understand you are asking when it is better for the personal representatives (PRs) to dispose of an estate property, or instead to appropriate it to the beneficiaries so that they handle the sale themselves. This choice typically arises where: the beneficiary(ies) has/have part or all of their capital gains tax (CGT) annual exemption available the beneficiary(ies) will pay CGT at 18% on any part of a gain the beneficiary(ies) has/have losses available to offset against any gain the sale will make a loss and the PRs will not be making any further disposals that may produce gains to utilise the loss A death is not usually a chargeable occasion for CGT. For these purposes the PRs are treated as acquiring the assets at market value on the date of death; effectively, all prior accrued gains are eliminated and the PRs start again with a clean slate...

Broadly, in this context, an asset is assessed only for appropriation purposes by reference to that specific date (rather than the date-of-death valuation that applies for inheritance tax (IHT) purposes)...
