Pre-dissolution What is driving the proposed dissolution? Is the general partner leaving voluntarily or being removed from the partnership, with a successor general partner to be put in place? Is this intended to be a technical dissolution, under which a new general partner will be appointed, or a general dissolution, under which the partnership’s affairs will be wound up? Technical dissolution What does the partnership agreement say about a technical dissolution? Does it specify that, on a change of general partner, a reconstituted partnership, reflecting that change, will immediately succeed the dissolved partnership, assume its assets and liabilities, and continue the business? If it contains no such provision, the partners will need to agree the process separately and determine how the transition should occur...

Allocation of jurisdiction within the UK under the CJJA 1982 This Practice Note explores how jurisdiction is apportioned across the UK under the Civil Jurisdiction and Judgments Act 1982 (CJJA 1982). It examines the scope of that regime and the conditions that must be satisfied for it to apply, and considers its interaction with Regulation 1215/2012, Brussels I (recast) (the Regulation). It sets out the primary rule together with the departures from it, and, lastly, addresses forum non conveniens in this setting. The CJJA’s intra-UK jurisdiction framework is designed to furnish rules allocating jurisdiction inside the UK itself. Distinct rules and factors arise when assessing whether UK courts possess jurisdiction over a claim that contains an international dimension. The UK comprises four countries, yet there are only three legal jurisdictions, and CJJA 1982, s 50, describes each as ‘parts of the UK’. England and Wales Scotland Northern Ireland Practitioners in England engaged in cross-border disputes must be cognisant of a range...

This document offers general guidance on divorce procedure. Your family solicitor can provide advice tailored to your circumstances. Specific advice will depend on your circumstances, and your family solicitor can provide this. No fault divorce The Divorce, Dissolution and Separation Act 2020 (DDSA 2020) substantially reshaped divorce law, aiming to lower acrimony by bringing in the commonly called ‘no fault divorce’. The legislation removes the need to attribute fault when initiating proceedings, rather than apportion blame at the outset. It entirely dispenses with attributing blame at the commencement of divorce proceedings. Historically, to obtain a divorce in England and Wales, the applicant had to demonstrate that the marriage had irretrievably broken down, which required proving one of five facts. Three rested on fault—adultery, unreasonable behaviour, and desertion—while two depended on a qualifying period of separation: two years with consent, or five years without consent...

This note offers general guidance on divorce procedure only. Your family lawyer will be able to give specific advice tailored to your circumstances. No fault divorce The Divorce, Dissolution and Separation Act 2020 (DDSA 2020) has been widely described as a landmark reform of divorce law, intended to make the process less acrimonious by introducing what is commonly termed ‘no fault divorce’. For the first time, this legislation completely removes the need to attribute blame when commencing divorce proceedings, changing both tone and approach. The revised divorce procedure applies to applications issued from 6 April 2022. Historically, in England and Wales, anyone applying for a divorce had to demonstrate that the marriage had broken down irretrievably, and to do so they were required to prove one of five facts. Three of those facts depended on fault—adultery with a person of the opposite sex, unreasonable behaviour, and desertion—while the other two relied upon a period of separation, namely two years’ separation with consent or five years’ separation without consent...
