Precedent transfer This precedent provides suggested wording for Form TP1 in the rare circumstances where only part of a leasehold is assigned. Assignments of part are widely disliked by landlords, since the resulting fragmentation of the tenant covenants inevitably makes it harder and costlier for the landlord to collect rent, enforce covenants and otherwise manage the property. See Practice Note: Assignment of part of the demised premises. Form TP1 must be used where the assignment is of part of a registered lease, or of part of an unregistered lease that has more than seven years left to run. An adaptable Word version of the TP1 precedent can be downloaded, saved or printed from this link: Apportionments On an assignment of part, the tenant and assignee should agree to apportion: the rent payable under the lease; any other amounts payable under the lease...

WARNING These model replies to enquiries are offered solely as a framework and a starting aid for a Seller preparing bespoke responses. They are neither recommended, exhaustive nor definitive, and must not be adopted without careful thought and tailored alteration for the specific deal.

Using such wording carries an implied assertion that the Seller has made reasonable enquiries about the issue raised. Emphasise to your client the necessity of scrutinising draft replies with great care and, where appropriate, involving managing agents and property managers. If statements given in replies prove to be wrong, whether...
WARNING These model replies to enquiries are offered solely as a framework and launch point to help the Seller prepare bespoke responses to enquiries. They are not a recommended, exhaustive, or definitive list and must not be relied upon without careful thought and tailored modification to fit the specific transaction. Replies to enquiries constitute part of the contract, and it is vital that they are accurately adapted to the particular matter and avoid any inaccurate or flippant remarks. They should likewise omit generic wording, for example ‘ Not to the Seller’s knowledge’, unless the Seller has taken steps to identify a fuller answer to the enquiry. Such wording carries an implied assertion that the Seller has itself made reasonable enquiries in relation to the point raised. You must emphasise to your client the need to scrutinise the draft replies with great care and, where...

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...
