The City of London Law Society (CLLS) has written to the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy concerning its issues with the Business Contract Terms (Assignment of Receivables) Regulations 2017. The chair, Dorothy Livingstone states that the letter is to explain why the CLLS believes the Regulations ‘will create substantial uncertainty in a wide range of financial transactions and may adversely affect access to finance for UK businesses if they are adopted’. The CLLS believes the best outcome would be for the Regulations to not be approved and the terms be reconsidered.
