NEW TOP
Whole titles
HIGHWAYS vol 18
The HIGHWAYS title (2023) has been fully revised and updated by barrister Raj Arumugam of 5 Stone Buildings, who specialises in commercial chancery work, with a particular emphasis on property (including highways), commercial, insolvency and company law, and by Jill Headford (commercial and property litigation partner at Tozers LLP) and Joanne Young (Senior Associate at Tozers LLP). Jill and Joanne are both members of the Property Litigation Association and both specialise in resolving land and property disputes.
The title covers all areas of law relating to highways. Topics include the dedication and creation of highways; maintenance, liability and the repair and improvement of highways; the control and protection of highways; the stopping up, diversion and extinguishment of highways; and inquiries into the various schemes and orders.
The commentary and forms and precedents have been extensively revised to take account of significant legal developments, including prospective changes; and full account has been taken of all relevant new case law, including the Supreme Court’s decision in DB Symmetry Ltd v Swindon Borough Council [2022] UKSC 33.
HOUSING vol 18
HOUSING (2023) has been fully revised by barrister Riccardo Calzavara of Cornerstone Barristers, a public law set specialising in local government, housing and planning law. Riccardo is regarded as a leading practitioner in housing (Legal 500 (2022 edition); Chambers UK Bar 2023).
Account has been taken of changes in the law and practice since the last reissue with emphasis given to the different legislation and powers evolving between England and Wales. The commentary contains reference to government guidance (both statutory and non-statutory) to which the exercise of housing functions in England and Wales is subject.
ALLOTMENTS, SMALLHOLDINGS AND GARDENS vol 2(3)
ALLOTMENTS AND SMALLHOLDINGS (2023) contains detailed commentary and a wide array of forms and precedents relating to allotments and smallholdings. The tenancies are accompanied by detailed drafting guidance and have been updated with respect to case law.
GARDENS (2023) has been fully revised and updated to take account of legislative changes and amendments and also revisions to HM Land Registry forms. The precedents cover a wide range of topics, including the acquisition, sale and letting of land and gardens (including the sale of land for building plots), accompanied by an expanded clause bank; rules for shared gardens; agreements for the management of gardens; relations between the garden owner and neighbours; matters relating to trees and high hedges, warning notices and licences of gardens for private functions.
ANIMAL PROTECTION AND HEALTH vol 2(3)
ANIMAL PROTECTION AND HEALTH (2023) has been revised and updated especially in light of the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) (England) Regulations 2018. As a result of this legislation, the different positions relating to England and Wales have been highlighted. New precedents concerned with various licensing activities have been included by way of example for local authorities in England. The precedent section on specific diseases of animals and their control has been updated to reflect the current position.
BOILERPLATE AND COMMERCIAL CLAUSES vol 4(3)
BOILERPLATE AND COMMERCIAL CLAUSES (2023 Reissue) has been revised to reflect recent developments in case law and practice which affect boilerplate and commercial clauses. The title comprises a wide selection of clauses which are common to many commercial contracts and govern the general operation of the agreement and the respective rights of the parties.
When familiar boilerplate clauses are included in a draft agreement (often towards the end of the agreement, after the core commercial terms), it is tempting to assume that the boilerplate terms do not require close scrutiny. This can result in the inclusion of terms that have not been thought through, and which are disadvantageous to one’s organisation or client. In some situations a different boilerplate clause would be more appropriate; in other cases, no clause is needed. This volume offers a wide range of contract boilerplate clauses in current usage, and provides guidance on their use and on drafting. Subscribers may compare and contrast the various options for dealing with a contractual issue, and select the example which corresponds most closely with their clients’ wishes.
Some types of clause which have traditionally been inserted into contracts as a matter of course have received considerable scrutiny by the courts, for example, ‘entire agreement’ clauses, exclusion of liability clauses and the meaning of ‘best’ and ‘reasonable’ endeavours, and this volume considers the implications of case law for template clauses.
Examples of standard clauses are complemented by precedents of several agreements that are ancillary to a main agreement. These include confidentiality agreements, ‘heads of terms’, amending agreements’, novation agreements and agreements recording the settlement of a dispute arising out of a contract.
GUARANTEES vol 17(3)
GUARANTEES AND INDEMNITIES (2023): The commentary provides general guidance on the use of guarantees and indemnities, including sections on formal requirements, interpretation, the rights of guarantors and creditors, and matters which may lead to avoidance and discharge. The precedents cover a wide range of guarantees and indemnities, including precedents relating to the lending of money, companies, the supply of goods, factoring and the indemnification of trustees.
The commentary and precedents have been reviewed and updated to incorporate relevant legislative changes, including under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, and case law developments, such as the decisions in Rubicon Vantage International Pte Ltd v Krisenergy Ltd 2019 (Comm); Shanghai Shipyard v Reignwood International Investment (Group) Company Ltd 2021 (CA); and Brown-Forman Beverages Europe Ltd v Bacardi UK Ltd 2021 (Comm). Other cases have been referred to on indemnities, including Dodika Ltd v United Luck Group Holdings Ltd 2020 (Comm); Towergate Financial (Group) Ltd v Hopkinson 2020 (Comm); Gwynt y Môr OFTO plc v Gwynt y Môr Offshore Wind Farm Ltd 2020 (HC); and AXA SA v Genworth Financial Holdings 2020 (Comm).
HEALTH AND SAFETY AT WORK vol 17(3)
The law on health and safety at work has placed responsibility for solving health and safety problems firmly on those who create the problems, and on those who have the power to eliminate risks to everyone affected by work activity. Volume 17(3) (2023) HEALTH AND SAFETY AT WORK consequently includes a number of precedents which will help to discover problems before they cause injury or damage, and includes checklists, risk assessment templates and requests for information.
In particular, there are risk assessment templates and checklists dealing with, for example, noise control; working at height; asbestos; construction design and management; first-aid; the registration, evaluation and authorisation of chemicals (REACH); working alone; drivers and vehicles; systems of work; vibration; fire precautions; fire drills and fire detection systems; dangerous substances and explosive atmospheres; and homeworkers. There is an accident investigation report form and suggested health and safety policy documents. The title also includes risk assessment checklists for ensuring compliance with the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015, controlling artificial optical radiation, preventing stress, and drawing up drug and alcohol policies.
Full account has been taken of recent legislative changes, including those prompted by government-led reform of health and safety law and changes resulting from the UK’s exit from the European Union. The title has been updated to reflect changes resulting from the enactment of laws including the Fire Safety Act 2021 and the Building Safety Act 2022. It also reflects changes arising as a result of new regulations that have come into force over recent years. These include the:


  • Employment Rights Act 1996 (Protection from Detriment in Health and Safety Cases) (Amendment) Order 2021;

  • Ionising Radiations Regulations 2017;

  • Personal Protective Equipment at Work (Amendment) Regulations 2022; and

  • Working Time (Coronavirus) (Amendment) Regulations 2020.


The title reflects updated Health and Safety Executive (‘HSE’) guidance, as well as guidance published by other organisations. For example, the HSE has revised guidance on new and expectant mothers to make clear that employers must undertake an individual risk assessment where a woman has notified her employer that she is pregnant, has given birth, or is breastfeeding. In addition, a new Sentencing Council guideline for gross negligence manslaughter offences came into effect on 1 November 2018. It covers recent health and safety case law that further interprets the law relating to vicarious liability, working time (including in relation to employment status), manual handling operations and noise at work.
Other developments include a new UK product marking system (UK Conformity Assessed or UKCA) for goods being placed on the market in Great Britain (England, Wales and Scotland) post-Brexit and the directly-acting European Regulation concerning the registration, evaluation, authorisation and restriction of chemicals (‘REACH’) which was brought into UK law when the UK left the EU and amended with the necessary changes to make it operable in a domestic context.
Several sets of Regulations made under the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 are discussed in detail, as are the Working Time Regulations 1998, and attention has also been paid to current health and safety issues including stress, violence at work, work-related upper limb disorders or musculo-skeletal disorders, fire, working at height and vibration.
GIFTS vol 17(2)
Volume 17(2) (2022) GIFTS has been substantially revised and updated to reflect all legislative and judicial developments and changes in practice that have taken place since its previous reissue.
The first section of commentary, which covers the general principles relating to gifts and charitable giving, has been updated to include developments in the area of constructive trusts and proprietary estoppel. It includes guidance on the powers of attorneys to make gifts to provide for the needs of family members whom the donor has a legal obligation to maintain. The rapidly growing case law in relation to setting aside gifts on the basis of mistake is fully considered, as is setting aside gifts on the basis of undue influence. Full account is also taken of the Supreme Court decision in Patel v Mirza (2016), on the effect of illegality in relation to a restitution claim based on unjust enrichment, and the decision of the Court of Appeal in King v Dubrey (2015) on the doctrine of donatio mortis causa.
The second section of commentary, which covers the practical taxation aspects of gifts, includes a discussion of the inheritance tax, capital gains tax and income tax implications of making gifts, with examples setting out, in a straight-forward manner, the practical import of recent case law and the complex and much amended tax legislation.
Gifts of land are subject to compulsory registration and this title includes prescribed forms of transfer. All land precedents have been revised and updated to take full account of revisions to HM Land Registry forms and practice.
The title also includes a consideration of gifts of an undivided share in land (which may have advantageous inheritance tax saving implications) and surrenders and releases of life interests. The reorganisation of interests under settlement is a fertile area of inheritance tax planning and the precedents come with detailed notes setting out the relevant tax consequences. Gifts via instruments of variation following a death are included, along with a selection of precedents covering the cases most commonly met in practice.
For forms and precedents relating to gifts to charities specifically, reference should be made to vol 6(2) (2018) CHARITIES AND CHARITABLE GIVING.



WILLS AND ADMINISTRATION vol 42(3)
The title WILLS AND ADMINISTRATION is concerned with the preparation and drafting of wills, their administration, their variation and their taxation implications. The title is published in three volumes. Volume 42(1) (2021) deals with the preparation and drafting of wills and includes checklists and standard clauses; volume 42(2) (2020) is concerned with the obtaining of a grant of representation and the administration of estates, and this volume is concerned with the drafting of wills in certain specialised situations.
Volume 42(3) (2022) contains commentary and precedents on specific areas of interest to the practitioner, including:

  • the uses of nil rate band discretionary will trusts, taking into account the transferable nil rate band;

  • the family home, including the problems that may arise if it or a share in it is left in a discretionary trust;

  • business and agricultural property, including a discussion of recent case law and a consideration of how to draft a will when it is unclear whether or not relief will be available;

  • incapacitated testators and advance decisions;

  • disabled and infirm beneficiaries, taking into account the extension of disabled trusts by the Finance Act 2006 and the extension of the capital gains tax free uplift to all disabled trusts under the Finance Act 2014;

  • charitable gifts, including the Finance Act 2012 provisions that allow for a reduced inheritance tax rate to apply when 10% of an estate is left to charity (this section also summarises the revised definition of charity which now applies for tax purposes);

  • wills and estates with a foreign element;

  • instruments of variation and disclaimer;

  • statutory provision for dependants taking into account the Inheritance and Trustees’ Powers Act 2014;

  • insolvent estates;

  • Islamic Wills.


This volume is updated throughout to take into account all statutory and case law developments.
FAMILY vol 16(2)
Volume 16(2) (2022) FAMILY is intended for use by the lawyer advising on issues of family law. It covers both private and public law issues, including those arising from separation of couples (whether husband and wife, same-sex couples, registered civil partners or cohabitants) and issues relating to children and other dependants.
The volume contains sections covering:

  • Cohabitation. The different treatment of married couples and cohabitants, in
  • relation to ownership during the relationship and on relationship breakdown, is compared. Cohabitation, pre-marital, mid-marital and separation agreements are included.

  • Same-sex marriages and civil partnerships. Same-sex marriages are discussed and compared with civil partnerships.

  • Co-ownership and trusts of land. The area of co-ownership and trusts is fully explored. A range of precedents is given taking into account the Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act 1996, Stack v Dowden (2007) and Jones v Kernott (2011).

  • Divorce and Civil Partnerships. The new Divorce, Dissolution and Separation Act 2020 and associated amended Family Proceedings Rules, which fundamentally change the divorce, judicial separation and dissolution of civil partnerships is covered. There is in addition a particular emphasis on financial matters, with the effect of insolvency being given its own section. A wide range of precedents for financial orders, including consent orders and procedural forms is included.

  • Transfers of the matrimonial home. Taking into account the Land Registration Act 2002 and Land Registration Rules 2003, a comprehensive set of precedents to assist with the completion of property transfers is included.

  • Pensions. This section has been thoroughly updated to reflect the current position on pensions and divorce. The Pensions Advisory Group and its 2019 report are discussed. Solutions to the ‘pensions problem’ on relationship breakdown are offered.

  • Children. The following areas are covered: parental responsibility and parentage, including human assisted reproduction and surrogacy; guardianship and special guardianship; provision of local authority children’s services; private fostering; child minding; and adoption. A separate section is given to financial provision for children with a revision of the areas on the Child Maintenance Service and the Children Act 1989 Schedule 1.

  • The Human Rights Act 1998. Its effect upon the whole area of family law is discussed.

  • Taxation. The tax treatment of married couples and cohabitants dealing with income tax, capital gains tax and inheritance tax on relationship breakdown has been updated.



MORTGAGES vol 28(2)
Volume 28(2) (2022) MORTGAGES has been completely revised and updated by Andrew Whittaker LL.B., Solicitor. Andrew was previously managing partner at Maples Teesdale where he had an extensive practice advising land owners, occupiers, investors and developers on a wide range of commercial and residential property issues. He now writes on property matters and provides property law training consultancy services at post-qualification level both for individual law firms and public course providers. Andrew also contributes to Atkin’s Court Forms.

The law relating to mortgages is a fundamental element to the ownership of real property in England and Wales. The purpose of the title MORTGAGES is to provide the practitioner with a thorough grounding in the law relating to mortgages and to provide a body of precedents that can either be used in non-routine transactions or, alternatively, form a template against which the suitability and adequacy of standard documentation can be measured.

Although much of the MORTGAGES title relates to mortgages and real property, detailed consideration is also given to the law relating to mortgages over choses in action and to certain specialised areas of lending such as agricultural security and banking.

A substantial part of volume 28(2) MORTGAGES (2022) is primarily comprised of forms of legal mortgage over leasehold interests in land. The precedents are comprehensive in nature and deal with the specific issues that need to be taken into consideration when taking security over leasehold property. They have been designed to reflect modern practice and to meet the needs of contemporary practitioners and their clients. For this reason, the use of technical devices such as unrealistically early redemption dates has been avoided and all precedents have been prepared as mortgages by way of charge rather than by way of demise.

The precedents document a wide range of situations concerning leasehold interests in land that are likely to be encountered in the ordinary course of practice, also including such matters as taking security over renewable leases and leases containing options to purchase the reversion. Volume 28(2) MORTGAGES (2022) contains illustrative forms of subsequent mortgage and of a mortgage dealing with the postponement of a prior security in relation to leasehold land. Forms of joint and contributory mortgages are also included.

The forms of mortgage in volume 28(2) MORTGAGES (2022) all contain an extended range of warranties, representations and covenants on the part of mortgagors particularly relating to financial and associated issues and extending to such matters as loan-to-value and interest cover ratios. Optional Quistclose provisions are also included.

The remainder of volume 28(2) MORTGAGES (2022) contains precedents relating to dealings with mortgages including: additions to and substitutions of security; further charges; transfers of mortgages; transfers of parts of mortgages and sub-mortgages; agreements for sale and transfers of and other dealings with the mortgagor’s equity of redemption; alterations and variations of mortgages; and alterations of priorities of mortgages over the same security.

The precedents have been drafted to take account of all recent developments in case law and legislation.

BANKRUPTCY AND INSOLVENCY vol 3(2)
Volume 3(2) (2022) BANKRUPTCY AND INSOLVENCY (INDIVIDUAL INSOLVENCY) is one of two volumes on Bankruptcy and Insolvency. The second, volume 3(3), deals with corporate insolvency.

Volume 3(2) (2022) has been updated to take full account of all recent developments, including changes introduced as a result of the UK’s exit from the EU, the debt respite scheme introduced by the Debt Respite Scheme (Breathing Space Moratorium and Mental Health Crisis Moratorium) (England and Wales) Regulations 2020, changes to debt relief orders and the restoration of HMRC’s status as a secondary preferential creditor in insolvencies.
The volume provides detailed commentary and a wide array of forms and precedents on:

  • insolvent individuals;

  • insolvent partnerships;

  • directors’ disqualification; and

  • deeds of arrangement.



CONSUMER CREDIT vol 12(1)A
Volume 12(1)A (2022) has been updated, reviewed and expanded to ensure that full account is taken of recent legislative and case law developments. It includes a section of consumer credit agreements that contain the pre-contract credit information under the Consumer Credit (Disclosure of Information) Regulations 2010, SI 2010/1013 and consumer credit agreements under the Consumer Credit (Agreements) Regulations 2010, SI 2010/1014, drafted in accordance with the changes introduced by the Consumer Credit (EU Directive) Regulations 2010, SI 2010/1010 and associated regulations which implement the Consumer Credit Directive. It also reflects the significant changes which occurred upon the change in regulatory regime in 2014, whereby the Financial Conduct Authority (‘FCA’) took over regulation from the Office of Fair Trading and many of the substantive rules on form, content and practice were moved over to the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Regulated Activities) Order 2001 and the FCA’s Consumer Credit Sourcebook (‘CONC’). Practical guidance is provided on the drafting of consumer credit agreements to comply with the law and to achieve commercial objectives.

The title provides a brief commentary and a cohesive and integrated set of precedents and guidance notes covering the full range of agreements and related matters, including:

  • checklists;

  • advertisements;

  • fixed-sum credit agreements;

  • running-account credit agreements;

  • secured agreements and unsecured agreements;

  • hire agreements;

  • modifying agreements;

  • guarantees; and

  • ancillary consumer finance related agreements.



JOINT VENTURES vol 19(2)

Volume 19(2) JOINT VENTURES is concerned with the key aspects of the law relating to different types of joint venture. Although the title emphasises corporate joint ventures, it also considers partnership joint ventures and consortia.

The commentary provides guidance on all areas relevant to practice in this field, including:

  • the choice of vehicle for joint ventures;

  • key issues in the formation and running of joint ventures;

  • key points in the drafting of joint venture agreements and shareholder agreements;

  • taxation concerns; and

  • competition law and regulatory issues.


Checklists highlight the issues to be considered when selecting the most appropriate joint venture vehicle, and the issues to be borne in mind when drafting a shareholders’ agreement and articles of association for a joint venture company, including the best approach to avoid contravening the companies legislation.

The wide range of precedents include a variety of agreements for the formation, operation and termination of joint ventures; articles of association; and ancillary agreements with third parties and employees. This volume includes an international joint venture agreement for use when the joint venture company is not incorporated in England. Precedents for the most important joint venture documents, shareholders’ and partnership agreements, are complemented by detailed notes which provide practical advice on all relevant issues, including competition and merger law and regulatory and tax concerns.

With respect to corporate joint ventures, the title addresses the problems that can arise between the parties, and it considers issues such as the balance of power and the resolution of disputes between participants, including deadlock provisions and remedies for breach of the shareholders’ agreement. Other aspects of company law and practice that are discussed include quasi-partnerships, directors and share valuation.

ARBITRATION AND ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION vol 3(1)
ARBITRATION AND ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION (2022 Reissue) has been updated to take account of the many developments in the field of arbitration and alternative dispute resolution since the 2018 Reissue. The commentary analyses the key provisions of the Arbitration Act 1996 and relevant case law. All forms and precedents have been revised to reflect the current law and the latest procedural practice, and additional forms and precedents have been introduced where appropriate.

AUCTIONEERS, ESTATE AGENTS AND VALUERS vol 3(1)
AUCTIONEERS, ESTATE AGENTS AND VALUERS (2022 Reissue) has been updated to reflect the current legislation and protocols affecting these professions. A new section on money laundering, relevant to all three professions, has been included. The section discusses the requirements and compliance necessary under the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017.

The section on auctioneers considers aspects of the sale of goods and land by auction such as the conduct of auctions and the position and duties of an auctioneer. It reflects legislation relating to this area, including the Estate Agents Act 1979, the Law of Property (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1989, the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008, the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 and the Consumer Rights Act 2015. The title now includes an anti money laundering checklist; and, for the sale of land, refers to the common auction conditions of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (4th Edition, 29 March 2018). Westminster City Council’s conditions for the registration of premises for the sale of goods by competitive bidding are included as an example of the licence conditions which may be imposed by London boroughs.

The section relating to estate agents considers statutory control of estate agents, terms of appointment and offences under consumer protection legislation, particularly the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008. The forms and precedents include applications and notices under the Estate Agents Act 1979. The commentary on valuers provides an overview of valuation practice while the accompanying precedents include agreements relating to the confirmation of instructions to valuers.

BAILMENT vol 3(1)
BAILMENT (2022 Reissue) has been revised to cover discussion on recent developments on the law of bailment, including amendments to legislation affecting cross-border loans arising as a result of the UK’s exit from the European Union.

This title has also been revised to include commentary on various recent judicial authorities relevant to bailment, including the Supreme Court’s decision in Volcafe Ltd v Cia Sud Americana de Vapores SA concerning the incidence and burden of proof in claims under bailment. Case law developments in other areas of bailment are also discussed, including the bailee’s estoppel (jus tertii), the bailee’s strict liability when there is a deviation from the bailment and the bailee’s common law lien for charges incurred for works improving chattels.

Deeds, Agreements and Declarations vol 12(3)
The title DEEDS, AGREEMENTS AND DECLARATIONS (2022 Reissue) has been revised and updated by Andrew Whittaker LL.B., Solicitor. Andrew was previously managing partner at Maples Teesdale where he had an extensive practice advising land owners, occupiers, investors and developers on a wide range of commercial and residential property issues. He now writes on property matters and provides property law training consultancy services at post-qualification level both for individual law firms and public course providers. Andrew also contributes to Atkin’s Court Forms.
The basic structure of the title comprises commentary and precedents relating to the description of parties to instruments and the execution of those instruments with a particular emphasis on deeds. The precedents relating to the execution of instruments reflect modern practice, and also provide a comprehensive selection of clauses that can be easily adopted for use in a wide variety of circumstances likely to be encountered in practice. They have also been revised to take account of the Guardianship (Missing Persons) Act 2017. Due consideration is given to the forms prescribed by and guidance given by HM Land Registry where registered land is concerned. The commentary on electronic signatures has been revised to reflect the use of ‘Mercury’ signatures, the review and recommendations contained in The Law Commission Report ‘Electronic Execution of Documents’ (2019), the increasing use of e-signing platforms and current HM Land Registry requirements. The title also includes commentary and precedents relating to the execution of documents with a foreign element and the use of statutory declarations.


CONFIDENTIALITY vol 12(3)
The title Confidentiality (2022 Reissue) has been updated by Susan Singleton LL.B., of Singletons, Solicitors (www.singlelaw.com). Singletons provides legal services to the business community, mainly in the areas of commercial, corporate, information technology and data protection, competition and intellectual property law. The firm’s clients include information technology and other technology-based companies, pharmaceutical, food and engineering companies and many others from the UK and abroad, and individual entrepreneurs and inventors. Susan Singleton has also written, contributed material to and revised the Data Protection and Freedom of Information title (volumes 12(2)A and 12(2)B) in the Encyclopaedia of Forms and Precedents.

CLAUSE BANK vol 7(1)C
The title CLAUSE BANK provides access to thousands of practice-specific model clauses. It has been designed as a time and expense saving tool for busy practitioners facing drafting issues for which they have no readily available precedents. Subscribers can search each volume of the Clause Bank by way of the easy to follow Contents pages which list all the clauses in groups according to the type of agreement in which they might be used. Subscribers can then select the appropriate clauses to supplement their own standard documentation.
Alternatively, by using the Clause Bank in conjunction with the Form Finder, which provides a comprehensive and accurate guide to the forms and precedents within the Encyclopaedia, subscribers will be able to make more effective use of the Encyclopaedia itself by locating the deeds and agreements they require then supplementing them with additional or alternative clauses which correspond more closely with their clients’ wishes.
Volume 7(1)A (2020 Reissue) contains clauses for a range of commercially orientated documents, company documents and partnership documents. Volume 7(1)B (2021 Reissue) contains clauses for use in connection with sale of land, mortgages and leasing of commercial property. Volume 7(1)C, which has been fully revised and updated in this 2021 Reissue, contains clauses for leasing of residential property, family, gifts, dealings with choses in action, trusts and wills.
The clauses in the Clause Bank are not drafted to fit into a particular framework and some adaptation will be required when used. Defined terms are often phrased with the intention of clearly identifying the person or body being referred to, and therefore frequently are not the terms that would be used in an actual document.
Clauses are drafted on the presumption that standard interpretation clauses are employed in the document. If this is not the case the user should be aware that amendments may be required.

EMPLOYMENT vol 14(1)C
Volume 14(1)C, which has been fully revised and updated in this 2021 Reissue, covers the employment relationship and the termination of employment, including termination at common law, unfair dismissal and entitlement to a redundancy payment.

  • equality, including transgender and other gender equality;

ENERGY (PIPELINES) vol 14(3)
This volume 14(3) (2021) ENERGY (PIPELINES) is newly introduc14(3)o the title scheme of the Encyclopaedia of Forms and Precedents. It replaces vol 31(2) (2008) PIPE-LINES and has been fully updated and expanded in the light of all recent changes to the law and practice relating to pipelines, including the Energy Act 2016 and the introduction of the independent oil and gas regulator, the Oil and Gas Authority (‘OGA’). While the OGA is responsible for the licensing of exploration and development of the UK’s offshore and onshore oil and gas resources, carbon storage, gas storage and unloading activities, the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy continues to be responsible for the regulation of the UK’s oil and gas resources.
