There is no restriction on the nature or value of the properties exchanged. A freehold interest can validly be exchanged for a leasehold interest ( IRC v Littlewoods Mail Order Stores [1962] 2 All ER 279, HL), and any necessary payment may be included by way of equality of exchange.

General This Precedent, with its drafting notes, is intended for use where your client is seeking payment of a straightforward contractual debt sum and interest in respect of a debt claim. A debt arises where party A (the debtor) is under a contractual obligation to pay an agreed sum of money to party B (the creditor). A familiar illustration is a simple contractual debt under a sale of goods contract, for instance where the debtor agrees to pay the creditor €50 upon delivery of goods on a particular date. Once delivery takes place in accordance with the agreement, that €50 becomes due, and that amount is a debt payable by the debtor to the creditor. Depending on the court before which the matter may proceed, you may need to refer to additional provisions and may wish to adapt this Precedent...

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...
