Execution clause-limited partnership ( Ireland)- Deed (drafting notes) These sample execution clauses are designed for use by a limited partnership when entering into a deed (rather than a simple contract). Four alternative execution forms are provided for a deed executed by the following parties: an individual general partner signing in the presence of a witness a person signing at an individual general partner’s direction, in the presence of a witness who attests the signature an individual general partner who acknowledges their signature in the presence of a witness who attests the signature a corporate general partner executing the deed Limited partnership The Limited Partnership Act 1907 ( Ireland) ( LPA 1907 ( IRL)) permits the establishment and creation of a partnership where some partners’ liability for the firm’s debts is limited, capped at the amount of their...
Counterparts A counterparts clause is a standard boilerplate provision that permits the parties to a contract to sign separate versions of the same agreement, rather than requiring every signatory to endorse one single document. Although there is no statutory footing for this in Ireland, executing agreements in counterparts is nonetheless common practice. This approach is especially useful where there are numerous parties, or where signatories are spread across different regions or countries and cannot arrange an in‑person completion meeting. If an agreement omits a counterparts clause, that omission may not, of itself, prevent the execution of a counterpart document. Even so, including such a clause is recommended to provide certainty and to forestall any suggestion that the agreement is not binding because it has not been executed correctly. It is also important to distinguish between original counterparts and original duplicates. If all parties sign several copies of the...

Governing law clause This Precedent sets out a governing law clause, often referred to as an applicable law clause or a choice of law clause. This type of provision is treated as a boilerplate clause within an agreement. It enables the parties to identify the substantive law that governs the construction of the contract and, if a dispute arises, issues connected with it. The clause addresses the law to be applied, not the forum or procedure by which any dispute will be resolved. It does not, therefore, prescribe how disputes are to be determined. Selecting Irish law as the contract’s proper law does not, in itself, amount to submitting to the jurisdiction of the Irish courts. Governing law and jurisdiction remain distinct concepts. For more on jurisdiction clauses, see Precedent: Ireland- Jurisdiction clause. Careful consideration of a governing law clause is vital,...
Drafting notes These model execution provisions are intended for a limited partnership entering into a simple contract, rather than a deed. Two alternative forms are provided for a contract executed: by an individual general partner, and on behalf of a corporate general partner Limited partnership The Limited Partnership Act 1907 ( Ireland) ( LPA 1907 ( IRL)) creates a partnership structure in which certain partners have limited liability for the firm’s debts, restricted to the amount of their contribution. The General Scheme of the Registration of Limited Partnerships and Business Names Bill 2024 ( Limited Partnerships Bill 2024), issued by the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment in 2024, would, if enacted, repeal and replace the LPA 1907 ( IRL). Limited partnerships registered under the LPA 1907 ( IRL) will be obliged to satisfy the new registration requirements within twelve months of...

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...
