GLOSSARY

PRACTICE NOTES
When a lawyer is instructed to draft and negotiate an agreement that includes the right to receive overage payments, those instructions will include (expressly or impliedly) an obligation to provide mechanisms to protect the seller’s entitlement to those payments (which may well only accrue several years later). A positive obligation to pay overage in the form of a covenant by the buyer will not automatically bind the buyer's successors in title (since the burden of a positive covenant does not run either in law or in equity). Failure to provide an effective method of protection may lead to a claim in negligence, with damages based on loss of opportunity. Protection by legal charge It is possible (and fairly common) to secure entitlement to overage by way of a legal charge on the land that is being sold and that is subject to the overage. It secures any overage payment as and when it arises. If the overage is not paid after it has fallen due, the seller/chargee can exercise its power of sale and discharge the overage out
PRACTICE NOTES
Overage is a covenant or contractual obligation by the buyer to make an additional payment to the seller over and above the original purchase price if a specified event occurs. It is important to stress to clients that payment of this additional sum is by no means certain. For example: • the specified trigger event may not occur within the overage period • the local authority's development plan for the site or other circumstances surrounding the property may change over time • even if the trigger event does occur, the buyer may simply fail to make the payment to the seller • the buyer may become insolvent in the intervening period At the outset At the outset (ie when heads of terms are circulated) consider whether overage is appropriate for the transaction. Is it likely that the overage will be triggered during the anticipated overage period? If it is a near certainty, a more appropriate solution may be that the price should be adjusted upwards instead. If the overage is being imposed simply to cover the ‘what
PRACTICE NOTES
Overage (sometimes known as ‘clawback’ or ‘deferred consideration’) enables a seller to benefit from an uplift in the value of land (eg where planning permission is obtained or where completed units are sold) after the original sale by the seller. Entitlement to overage is a contractual matter and overage provisions will be construed against the person seeking to rely on them. Clarity is therefore essential. At the outset, consider whether overage is appropriate. It may be the case that your client’s interests would be better served by agreeing a conditional contract for the sale of the property rather than an outright sale with overage. It is also important to keep perspective when negotiating overage as it often makes negotiations more time-consuming and costly. Management of your client's expectations regarding timing and fees may also be required. Sellers (particularly in the public sector) often impose overage to protect themselves against future embarrassment if the buyer manages to develop and/or dispose of the land at a significant profit. From the seller’s perspective, overage will leave ‘trailing wires’ and the seller will

PRACTICE NOTES
This Practice Note explains the features of three common types of loan facility: • overdrafts • term loans, and • revolving credit facilities (RCFs) It also considers the advantages and disadvantages of each type of loan facility from a borrower's perspective. What is an overdraft? An overdraft is the most common form of bank lending and is used to help solve short-term, day-to-day cash flow issues. As such, an overdraft facility is sometimes referred to as a 'working capital facility'. An overdraft is a loan—it enables the borrower to borrow on a designated account up to a specified amount. An overdraft can be 'planned' or 'authorised' (ie expressly agreed) or 'unplanned' or 'unauthorised' (ie arise from an implied request for an overdraft arising from the borrower giving a payment instruction that would take it beyond its agreed overdraft limit (if any)). The lender does not have to let the borrower become overdrawn. The key features of an overdraft are that it: • is generally uncommitted ie it can be withdrawn
