Overview This questionnaire offers an illustrative set of questions intended to gather information to assess whether a specific transaction may fall within section 3 of the Enterprise Act 2002. It does not consider whether ‘two or more enterprises have ceased to be distinct’. It is prepared on the assumption that the deal involves the acquirer purchasing the target, which is an ongoing business. Consequently, if any of the jurisdictional thresholds is met, the deal will amount to a relevant merger situation. For further guidance on the application of the UK merger control regime, see A ‘relevant merger situation’ under UK merger rules. Once it is established that the UK merger control rules apply, additional and more detailed information will be needed to conduct a substantive review of the competition issues associated with the transaction and to identify any relevant economic market...

Introduction What does this Precedent cover? This Precedent provides: replacement plug-in clauses for an English limited liability partnership ( LLP), drafted for inclusion in the Precedent: Facility agreement (term loan): single company borrower—bilateral—with or without security or a guarantee; alternative plug-in clauses for an LLP prepared for the Precedent: Real property mortgage: single company chargor—bilateral—specific monies; and further points to consider when modifying those precedents for LLP use.

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...
