GLOSSARY
Complete integration describes a written contract that is intended by the parties to be the final and exhaustive record of their agreement, so that no additional or prior terms (especially oral negotiations or side agreements) can be relied on to vary or supplement it. In practice, this is often evidenced by an “entire agreement” or “whole agreement” clause stating that the document supersedes all previous understandings.In England and Wales, and Northern Ireland, the concept is applied through the parol evidence rule developed in case law, which restricts extrinsic evidence where a contract is found to be a complete integration. Irish contract law follows similar common-law principles. In Scotland, while the terminology is less formalised, the same functional idea appears in interpretation of written contracts and “entire agreement” clauses.The classification of a document as a complete integration affects: admissibility of pre‑contractual statements; the scope for implying terms; and the risk allocation between detailed drafting and informal assurances. It is central to contractual construction, due diligence, and litigation over alleged collateral warranties or misrepresentations.

What is form MR01 (Particulars of a charge) and when do you use one? A charge created by a UK-registered company is registrable at Companies House unless it falls within one of the exceptions in section 859A(6) of the Companies Act 2006 (CA 2006) (see: Which company charges are registrable at Companies House?). The consequences of failure to register can be severe so it is important that registration is effected within the time period for registration. Form MR01 (Particulars of a charge) is the Companies House form which should be used to register a company charge at Companies House when the charge is: • created or evidenced by an instrument • on or after 6 April 2013 • by a company registered in the UK Where a company charge is not created or evidenced by an instrument, form MR08 (Particulars of a charge where there is no instrument) should be used to register the charge at Companies House. For information about other Companies House forms relating to registering company charges, see: • Particulars

This Checklist is designed to assist in the collation of information that is required to determine the budgeted costs when completing the costs budget (also known as Precedent H). Budgeted costs are estimated future costs which have not yet been incurred. A party when completing their costs budget will need to consider what costs they estimate will be incurred up until the end of trial. Guidance on completing Precedent H is set out in CPR PD 3D, para 4–CPR PD 3D, para 10. Prior to 1 October 2020, the guidance for completing Precedent H was found in a standalone document. The following checklists may also be of assistance: Issues to consider when completing costs budget—checklist and Completing costs budget for budgeted costs—checklist. Considerations Hourly rates The Hourly Guideline Rates for the summary assessment of costs are of some assistance to the court when determining whether a budget phase is reasonable and proportionate. However, as Chief Master Marsh stated in Scott Fowler Solicitors (2018), such guidelines do not fix the rates that will be allowed on detailed
