Associated legal terms
Accounts date deal
On an accounts date deal for a share purchase, the buyer will determine the purchase price by reference to the previous set of audited accounts (and any other information available by means of due diligence) and there will be no mechanism for adjustment of the purchase price within the SPA (other than by means of warranty or covenant claims). A simple accounts date structure is now infrequently used because it provides no protection (other than specific protections under the tax covenant) for the buyer for the activities of the target company (or its group) after the accounts date.
FID
Final Investment Decision: In a nuclear context the term is used to refer to the final decision of a company to invest or not invest in a particular project.
Mandatory order
An order from the Divisional Court of the Queen’s Bench Division ordering a body (such as a magistrates’ court) to do something (such as rehear a case).
