Associated legal terms
Fair disclosure
The standard of disclosure agreed between the buyer and the seller will be included in the SPA/APA or, occasionally, the disclosure letter. The agreed standard of disclosure will vary from transaction to transaction, with some common agreed standards being ‘full and accurate’, ‘full, accurate and specific’, ‘fair’ or simply that the matters are ‘disclosed’ against the warranties. The scope of the definition of ‘fair’ has been considered in a number of recent cases and will depend on the circumstances of the transaction.
Non-party disclosure
An order in existing proceedings for disclosure of documents or inspection of property against a person who is not a party to those proceedings.
UCP
The UCP is a set of standard terms and conditions developed by the International Chamber of Commerce which can be incorporated into a letter of credit. UCP stands for the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits. Although internationally recognised, these standard terms and conditions do not have the force of law. They must be expressly incorporated into a letter of credit if the parties concerned wish to use them (they are not automatically incorporated).
