This Checklist sets out suggested actions that a local authority (LA) can take in order to prevent the accumulation of social care debt by service users.

This Checklist canvasses some of the common issues encountered when it comes to requesting or providing an employment reference. For further guidance on references generally, see Practice Note: References. For a template letter of reference from an employer to a prospective new employer concerning an existing or former employee, see Precedent: Letter—employee reference. • Requesting references ◦ It is common practice for an employer to give a reference in respect of an employee or former employee almost as a matter of course, unless there are good reasons for not doing so ◦ Check whether the references are required before employment commences—they usually will be and so any offer letter should contain a statement that the offer is conditional upon and subject to receipt of references satisfactory to the employer. The statement must be made to the employee before they accept the employment, so that it becomes a term of the contract. If the employment is started before those references are received, the employment contract should provide that, if unsatisfactory references are received, the employer has the right to dismiss

Where a court hearing is conducted remotely or on a hybrid basis, additional steps will need to be taken compared to a traditional hearing in a physical court building to ensure that the hearing runs smoothly.

When and why is a foreign law legal opinion needed? A lender will require a foreign law legal opinion from lawyers in each relevant jurisdiction in the context of a cross-border loan transaction. For example, in the scenario where a transaction has a facility agreement and other finance documents governed by the laws of England and Wales, a borrower or other obligor incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (BVI) and certain security assets situated in Jersey, a lender will require a legal opinion from lawyers in each of England and Wales, the BVI and Jersey. The main purposes of a legal opinion (whether foreign law or otherwise) are: • to confirm to the recipient of the legal consequences and effect of a document, transaction, or course of conduct (as relevant) • to satisfy the recipient that a lawyer has examined specified legal aspects of a transaction, and/or • to state conclusions of law as to the ability of a party to enter into and perform its obligations under a document It

This Checklist looks at how easements are created and how they must or may be registered at HM Land Registry. It includes the following key sections: • Is there an easement? • Is it capable of being a legal easement? • Has the easement been created by express grant? • Is the easement an express grant contained in a deed of grant or transfer? • Is the easement contained in a lease? • Has the easement been created by implied grant? • Has the easement been created by presumed grant? • Is the easement an equitable easement? • Is the easement an overriding interest? • Rights other than easements An application to HM Land Registry for registration of an easement may need to be accompanied by evidence of third party consents or of compliance with a restriction on title. These are not dealt with in detail in this Checklist; see Practice Notes: Mortgages and land—dealings with land subject to a mortgage or legal charge and Land registration—restrictions on title under the Land Registration Act 2002.

Introduction Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) is a charge levied in respect of development. The legislative basis for CIL is found in Part 11 of the Planning Act 2008 (PA 2008), which empowers the Secretary of State to make regulations providing for the imposition of CIL in connection with planning permission. Those regulations were made in the form of the Community Infrastructure levy Regulations 2010 (the CIL Regulations), SI 2010/948. CIL applies to both England and Wales. The CIL Regulations, insofar as they affect individual developments, operate on the basis of a series of notices relating to a development, which must either be submitted by the applicant/landowner/developer to the collecting authority, or which must be issued by the collecting authority. This Practice Note lists those notices and explains: when they must be submitted/issued and by whom on whom; what detail they must provide; what the effect of the notices are; and what the consequences are if they are not submitted/issued. It focuses on the notices which must or may be served in connection with
