This Precedent is a short form letter of extension between two parties, used to extend an existing contract beyond its initial term. Optional drafting is provided for any variations to the contract that the parties may additionally wish to include. This Precedent is for use in situations where: • there is an existing contract between two or more parties • the parties, by consent, wish to extend the term of the contract and/or change certain provisions of the contract (whether to delete, amend or add further provisions) • there are no provisions within the existing contract which permit the extension or change of some or all of its provisions without entering into a written form of variation, and • the parties are satisfied that there is consideration for the extension or variation and so do not need it to be effected by way of deed The existing contract should be checked for any provisions relating to extension or variation. It should also be checked carefully for anything that might need to be amended as a consequence of the extension (for example, charges). The Precedent provides

As a general rule, the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR 2015), SI 2015/102 seek to ensure that potential tenderers (whether public or private sector) are not excluded from a tender process because of their legal form. For example, PCR 2015, SI 2015/102, reg 19(1) provides that a tenderer which is allowed to provide a certain service in its home Member State cannot be prevented from tendering to provide those services in another Member State which has different rules about the legal form service providers are required to take. In relation to consortium bids, the effect of PCR 2015, SI 2015/102, reg 19(3) is that a group of economic operators cannot be required to take a particular legal form in order to participate in the tender process; however, pursuant to PCR 2015,

The Low Carbon Contracts Company (LCCC) has signed the Revenue Collection Contract for Sizewell C, which is Great Britain's first nuclear project to be supported through the Regulated Asset Base (RAB) model.

About the Isle of Man The Isle of Man is a self-governing Crown dependency. It has never become part of the Kingdom of Great Britain or the United Kingdom and it is not part of the European Union. It has its own system of laws, although some Acts of Parliament in Westminster have been extended to the Isle of Man. As a consequence, none of the instruments comprising the European Regime (such as the Brussels or Lugano Conventions or the Judgments Regulation) or the Civil Jurisdiction and Judgments Act 1982 (CJJA 1982) will apply. The Isle of Man is not listed as a member of the Hague Convention although it has made a declaration in respect

Employers generally agree the basic rate and frequency at which they will pay their employees. Any details agreed at the start of employment must be recorded in the written statement of particulars, as should any changes subsequently agreed (see ‘Written statement of employment particulars’, below). While the contract provides the starting point for determining the employer’s obligations in this area, this will be subject to a number of significant statutory rights that govern a worker’s pay, such as the right to receive the national minimum wage (see, ‘National minimum wage (NMW)’, below). A worker also has the right to receive a written, itemised pay statement each time they are paid (see, ‘Pay statements’, below). For further information, see:

We have assumed that this question involves the professional deputy acting as a litigation friend for the claimant. The question is whether the professional deputy's fees for acting as the claimant's litigation friend are recoverable from the defendant as either (i) part of the claimant's recoverable costs of the litigation or (ii) as part of the claimant's recoverable damages from the defendant. Professional deputies Deputies are appointed by the Court of Protection to manage the property and financial affairs of those who are mentally incapable of doing so themselves. Where a professional deputy has been appointed, there are rules in place for the recovery of their fees, see, eg Practice Note: Costs and expenses in the Court of Protection.

This Precedent is a short form letter of variation intended to be used in situations where: • there is an existing contract between two or more parties • the parties, by consent, wish to change certain provisions of the contract (whether to delete, amend or add further provisions) • there are no provisions within the existing contract which permit the change of some or all of its provisions without entering into a written form of variation, and • the parties are satisfied that there is consideration for the variation and so do not need it to be effected by way of deed The existing contract should be reviewed for any provisions dealing with how variations can be made.
