A-Z Guide to Boilerplate and Commercial Clauses

This popular book clearly and concisely de-constructs the boilerplate clauses commonly used in UK commercial contracts. No matter how obscure or complicated the clause, the book will enable readers to negotiate and comprehend the boilerplate clause, as well as draft a clause. Invaluable guidance is provided in a practical alphabetical format and offers vital information for each and every boilerplate, such as: an explanation of the purpose of the clause * a discussion of the issues and problems encountered in drafting the clause * practical samples of commonly used precedents * a summary of the underlying UK law, including consumer law issues where relevant * an explanation of relevant major cases that have affected the interpretation of the clause. This third edition includes: new precedent material on the obligations on a party to comply with particular UK regulatory and/or governmental laws and standards * the handling of data (and its movement within or outside the EEA) * due diligence issues * new material dealing with how companies (and limited liability partnerships) can sign deeds (and other documents), following the implementation of the Companies Act 2006 (April 2008 for companies and October 2009 for limited liability partnerships).Ëœ
