Subject to licence
We acknowledge the Tenant’s application for a licence to assign the Lease. Please note that any consent will only be effective by a formal licence to assign executed as a deed. The Landlord has not yet reached a decision. Any consent, if granted, will be conditional on:
- Completion of a formal licence to assign [ and an authorised guarantee agreement, both ] executed as a deed;
- Provision of any: 2.1 satisfactory accounts and references; and/or 2.2 guarantees or other security; as the Landlord requires;
- No sums being outstanding under the Lease at the time any licence is granted;
- Payment, before completion, of the Landlord’s legal [ and surveyors’ ] fees relating to the application;
- Any existing breach of the Lease being remedied before completion of the licence.
Subject to the above, a draft licence to assign is enclosed for your consideration. Circulation or negotiation of the draft does not amount to consent. Neither this firm nor any employee has authority to consent to the assignment for the Landlord. Only the Landlord can consent, by completing a deed of licence to assign, once all the above conditions, and any further conditions imposed by the Landlord, have been satisfied...

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...
