Financier definition

What does Financier mean? In legal practice, “financier” describes any commercial funder that provides credit or purchases receivables, including banks, non‑bank lenders and specialist providers. It is a descriptive expression rather than a statutory or case‑law term of art, and is usually defined in facility or receivables finance documents to identify the party advancing funds and holding rights under the finance and security package. Common examples include receivables financiers, asset‑based lenders (ABL), invoice discounters and factors, term or revolving lenders, mezzanine or bridge lenders, trade/stock financiers and equipment lessors.

New Aircraft Purchase Agreements: Delivery Delays, Warranties, Residual Value, Pricing/Escalation, Engine Agreements, Pre‑delivery Payments and Financing Support

Published by a LexisNexis Banking & Finance expert

Practice notes

Such agreements are concluded between an aircraft manufacturer (the seller) and a customer (the purchaser). In the majority of situations, the customer will be an airline or an operating lessor, although the purchaser can equally be a different entity, such as a governmental body. The terms and conditions of aircraft purchase agreements are commonly kept confidential as between the aircraft manufacturer and the customer and are seldom made public. The bulk of those provisions will typically not be disclosed to any financier of the customer, even where that financier is providing the customer with funding in relation to an aircraft to be acquired pursuant to the terms of that purchase agreement.

An aircraft manufacturer will generally have a standard form purchase agreement that it enters into with all of its customers. Nevertheless, particular commercial terms are negotiated between the parties, and letter agreements are frequently entered into by the aircraft manufacturer and the customer to supplement or clarify the terms of the aircraft purchase agreement (see: Key provisions of a purchase agreement below).

Examples of aircraft manufacturers include:

Airbus SAS
ATR
the Boeing Company
Bombardier Aerospace
the Cessna Aircraft Company
Embraer S.A.

Tomlin orders in England and Wales: CPR guidance on drafting, confidentiality, approval, variation, enforcement, limitation, CCA issues, court-specific requirements, sample wording and precedents

This Practice Note This Practice Note reviews mechanisms used in settling litigation. A Tomlin order consists of a consent order paired with a schedule. It operates to stay proceedings on terms that have been agreed. The provisions contained in the schedule may remain confidential. This Practice Note describes the scope of confidentiality attaching to the schedule and sets out how it differs from a standard consent order. Sample wording for a Tomlin order is included, alongside links to precedents, as well as guidance on court approval. It also addresses varying, setting aside and enforcing a Tomlin order, including the considerations the court will take into account when handling applications for each. Further guidance is provided on interpreting and applying the relevant provisions of the CPR; however, some courts and divisions impose very specific requirements for both drafting and approval, and for approaching the schedule and confidentiality issues. Accordingly, you must consider the particular rules and court guide provisions in the forum where your claim is proceeding when drawing up the Tomlin order...
