This checklist This checklist highlights the principal issues to address when preparing contractual terms for business to business agreements on product safety and liability. See Practice Note: Product liability risk management for producers for guidance on controlling risk ahead of new supply arrangements, including carrying out appropriate due diligence on other relevant businesses in the supply chain.

ARCHIVED: This Checklist is archived and no longer maintained. Brexit: as of exit day (11 pm on 31 January 2020) the UK is no longer an EU Member State. However, in line with the Withdrawal Agreement, the UK entered an implementation period, during which EU law still applies. This affects this Checklist. It should be read with this context firmly in mind. For further guidance, see: Brexit Bulletin—key updates, research tips and resources, and the Brexit collection. On 3 February 2020, the UK and the EU set out their opening negotiating positions for a post‑Brexit UK‑EU relationship. Although the Political Declaration, appended to the Withdrawal Agreement, provides the framework for the future relationship with the EU, it is not legally binding, so either side may choose to depart from parts or all of the text. If talks on a trade agreement between the UK and the EU fail (a no trade deal Brexit), the UK’s trade with the EU would proceed on World Trade Organization (WTO) terms. This Checklist...

This Practice Note presents a concise overview of the principal areas where UK and EU product regulation have diverged since the UK’s departure from the EU on 31 December 2020 (IP Completion Day). It examines differences relating to product liability, product safety, remedial measures (including product recalls), and standards and conformity marking for general consumer products. Background Before the Brexit transition ended, UK product regulation was largely aligned with the EU, as significant domestic rules on product liability and product safety originated from EU law, including: the Consumer Protection Act 1987 (CPA 1987), which implemented Directive 85/374/EEC on liability for defective products (the EU Product Liability Directive or EU PLD) into UK law the General Product Safety Regulations 2005 (GPSR 2005), SI 2005/1803, which implemented Directive 2001/95/EC on general product safety (the EU General Product Safety Directive) into UK law Since IP Completion Day, divergence has increased as the EU has advanced new legislation, while UK law has not progressed in...

Service provision changes (SPCs) This Practice Note explores service provision changes (SPCs) under the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 (TUPE 2006), SI 2006/246, reg 3(1)(b), arising when activities are outsourced, brought back in-house, or a contractor or service provider is replaced. It explains the approach for cases where the relevant transfer under TUPE 2006 occurs on or after 31 January 2014, and addresses scenarios typically encountered in outsourcing, insourcing, or a change of provider. The Note also clarifies how SPCs operate in those contexts. For the pre-31 January 2014 position, refer to the government’s TUPE 2006 guidance (June 2009)—applicable only to transfers on or before 30 January 2014 and not updated in light of more recent case law—and to Practice Note: TUPE—the pre-January 2014 position [Archived]—Service provision changes. A switch in service provider can constitute a ‘service provision change’ within TUPE 2006, irrespective of whether it is also a ‘business transfer’. For further detail on business transfers, see Practice Note: TUPE—business transfers. Distinct from...

This Practice Note outlines Directive (EU) 2019/770 (OJ L 136/1) on certain aspects of contracts for the supply of digital content and digital services—the EU Digital Content Directive (EU DCD)—brought in as part of the European Commission’s Digital Single Market strategy. The EU DCD sets out a range of consumer rights and remedies for business-to-consumer (B2C) agreements covering digital content or digital services, and is complemented by Directive (EU) 2019/771 (OJ L 136/28) on certain aspects concerning contracts for the sale of goods, the EU Sale of Goods Directive (EU SGD). For more on the EU SGD, see Practice Note: The EU Sale of Goods Directive. The EU DCD entered into force on 11 June 2019. EU Member States had to adopt and publish the measures needed to comply by 1 July 2021 and to apply them from 1 January 2022. The national transposition measures can be viewed on the EUR-Lex website.

We assumed for the purposes of this Q&A there exists in place an arrangement creating a contractual link between the initial equipment supplier and the finance company as lessor; for example, a tripartite agreement among the supplier, lessor and lessee, or a contract between the finance company lessor and the original supplier for the purchase of the equipment before the lessor leases it on to the lessee. We also proceed currently on the basis that no particular industry or sector rules apply to any such arrangement between lessor and original supplier, or between the original supplier and the lessee, that would affect the analysis. This Q&A centres on the principles of construing contracts and the general position for equipment lease and hire agreements. Contract interpretation If a contract does not explicitly provide for an action from which one party seeks to benefit, it must be assessed whether an appropriate term should be implied...

UK Within the UK, Defra leads the development of new regulations arising from initial studies that prioritise gains in energy efficiency. These rules are policed by the National Measurement Office (NMO). EU Ecodesign and energy-using requirements The European EuP Directive 2005/32/EC acted as a framework, with precise performance benchmarks and test methods defined in accompanying implementing measures and regulations. It was later replaced by the Eco-Design Directive 2009/125/EC. In the UK, the 2005 Directive was transposed via the Ecodesign for Energy-Using Products 2007, SI 2007/2037, which was in turn revoked by the Eco-Design for Energy-Related Products Regulations 2010, SI 2010/2617. The 2010 Regulations transpose Directive 2009/125/EC into UK law, aiming to enhance product environmental performance across the whole life cycle by embedding environmental considerations at the earliest stages of design. The EU is setting minimum energy and environmental performance standards for more than twenty product groups, including lighting. Detailed technical provisions appear in the regulations, while the Market Transformation Programme (MTP) offers further information and the evidence...
