Checklist Use this Checklist when assessing online advertising terms and conditions, where a publisher (the owner of a website, app or other digital platform) sells advertising space on its platforms to advertisers (brands or advertising/media buying agencies acting for those brands) on a direct basis (Programmatic Direct). Where appropriate, this Checklist may operate as the starting point for straightforward, non-binding heads of terms. For direction on preparing these, see Precedent: Heads of terms—commercial contracts. For a specimen set of a publisher’s standard terms, see Precedent: Online advertising terms and conditions. As you work through the Checklist, the third column can be used to note observations or comments. Employ it to record notes while progressing through each item. Further information Notes (if any) Parties ☐ Verify each party’s legal status and whether the advertiser will contract in its own capacity or via an advertising agency. In some situations an advertiser will enter into the agreement itself; in others, it may appoint an...

Flowchart This Flowchart serves as a guide to identifying which Precedent agreement for the supply of goods is the most suitable to adopt in a particular situation.

Both the Flowchart and its companion table consider business to business (B2B) Precedent options only...

From 6–9 June 2024, EU citizens headed to the polls to choose the tenth European Parliament. After negotiations on group line-ups—featuring parties changing blocs and several previously non-aligned MEPs joining political groups—the make-up of the 2024–2029 Parliament is now apparent. As forecast, the chamber has moved to the right. But what does that entail? Lavan Thasarathakumar, senior adviser at Hogan Lovells, has contributed to this assessment.

That textbook offers an in-depth exploration of matters addressed in this Practice Note. What is carbon capture, usage and storage (CCUS)? The term CCUS is sometimes described as ‘carbon capture and storage’ (CCS); broadly, CCS represents a narrower subset within the same sector. CCS describes a range of processes that capture and store CO 2 emissions from industrial activities...

What is a hackathon? A hackathon is usually a 12–48-hour sprint where multidisciplinary teams—coders, developers, strategists, data scientists, subject-matter specialists and innovators—work intensively to tackle a defined problem in a short window. The aim is to generate fresh concepts, tools or platforms, often ending with a functional prototype or a concept pitch. They trace their lineage to tech culture: the first officially recognised hackathon took place in 1999 in Calgary, though collaborative meet-ups go back to the 1970s with groups such as the Homebrew Computer Group, where the first Apple computer was unveiled. Today, hackathons cut across many sectors and goals, and are not exclusively technology-focused. The author once ran an inspiring game jam—a game development focussed hackathon—designed to speed up cancer cures by turning cancer data analysis into gameplay, delivering scientifically robust outputs thanks to watertight algorithms. Whatever the topic, the core principles and structure are largely consistent. In law, they are increasingly used to drive innovation, widen access to justice, and connect with legal...

Commercial contracts—Germany—Q&A guide [Archived, 2022 edition] This Practice Note offers a jurisdiction-specific Q&A overview of commercial contracts in Germany, issued as part of the Lexology Getting the Deal Through series by Law Business Research (published: January 2022). Authors: Lutz Abel Rechtsanwalts PartG mbB—Marius Mann; Benjamin Baisch; Björn Weidehaas 1. Is there an obligation to use good faith when negotiating a contract? Yes. Good faith is set out in section 242 of the German Civil Code (BGB) and is a basic tenet of German law. It imposes a duty on both contracting parties to fulfil their obligations faithfully and sincerely, taking customary practice into account. Nevertheless, where there is no breach of specific provisions of the BGB or the German Commercial Code (HGB), enforcing a claim that relies solely on the general clause in section 242 BGB is generally difficult. The principle is fleshed out, for example, in section 138 BGB (no legal transaction contrary to public policy; no usury) and in section 307 et seq BGB (no...

Disputes regarding liability for an adjudicator’s fees and expenses Such disputes often present intricate issues, and comparatively few judgments explore them in depth. From the outset, parties to adjudication should keep in mind two dimensions of their exposure for the adjudicator’s fees: their liability to the adjudicator; and their liability to one another. In the majority of matters, where the adjudication follows its usual path and an enforceable decision is issued: the parties’ liability to each other is decided by the adjudicator within the award. The adjudicator generally has discretion to apportion their own fees as they see fit. Commonly, the losing party is directed to pay all, or a greater proportion, of those fees the parties’ liability to the adjudicator is governed by the contract made with the adjudicator. That agreement may rest on bespoke terms and conditions (T&Cs) provided by the adjudicator or, where no T&Cs are supplied, on implied terms arising from a contract formed...

Trade union recognition An employer can recognise a trade union for a number of different purposes, and at a variety of different levels. Where negotiating rights exist at the highest tier of recognition, any decisions on subjects within those rights must be settled jointly by the employer and the union, and cannot be taken by the employer alone, acting unilaterally. This is commonly described as recognition for collective bargaining. For further information, see Practice Note: Trade union recognition, within the main section covering ‘Recognition for collective bargaining’. An employer may: recognise a trade union wholly on a voluntary basis (voluntary recognition) be required to recognise the union by the Central Arbitration Committee (CAC) under the statutory recognition procedure (see Practice Note: Reference to Central Arbitration Committee), or recognise it on a semi-voluntary basis as part of the statutory recognition procedure (see Practice Note: Reference to Central Arbitration Committee, within the main section addressing ‘Voluntary recognition following request for statutory recognition’) ...
