Financial Services analysis: Standard Chartered has rejected claims that it misled investors over allegations of bribery in Indonesia and non-compliance with sanctions on Iran. Responding for the first time to a lawsuit filed by scores of institutional shareholders in 2021, the bank said it was ‘irrelevant’ that employees had known about a bribery scheme at an Indonesian power company because they did not have decision-making responsibility at the bank. It also said it had disclosed investigations into historic non-compliance with sanctions on Iran.

MLex: Standard Chartered has lost a bid to cut hundreds of millions of pounds out of a UK lawsuit by investors who claim they lost out due to the investment bank’s complicity in bribery and sanctions busting. The investment bank is being sued by investors who claim they made losses due to the bank being misleading about its involvement in sanctions non-compliance.

The Standard Conditions of Sale (Fifth Edition—2018 Revision) (SCS) are a set of standard conditions which form the basis of the majority of contracts for the sale and purchase of residential property in England and Wales. For transactions involving commercial or mixed-use property, the Standard Commercial Property Conditions (Third Edition—2018 Revision) (SCPC) are more appropriate. The SCS were originally published on 1 April 2011 in conjunction with the launch of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Protocol (the Protocol). Where the Protocol is adopted in relation to a particular conveyancing transaction, the parties must use the current edition of the SCS (and step 13 of the Protocol states that special conditions should only be included if they are absolutely necessary for the purposes of the transaction). Use of the Protocol is mandatory for solicitors who are accredited under the Conveyancing Quality Scheme. For further commentary on the Protocol, see Practice Note: The Law Society’s Conveyancing Protocol. The 2018 revision of the SCS was introduced in March 2018. Condition

This Practice Note looks at the use of additional clauses—or special conditions as they are also known—in conjunction with the Standard Conditions of Sale (Fifth Edition—2018 Revision) (SCS) in residential conveyancing transactions. Using the Standard Conditions of Sale (Fifth Edition—2018 Revision) The SCS are a set of standard conditions which form the basis of the majority of contracts for the sale and purchase of residential property in England and Wales. They set out the general terms on which the property will be conveyed and address matters such as payment of the deposit, deduction of title, matters subject to which the property is sold, completion, late completion and remedies for breach of contract. Where the Law Society’s Conveyancing Protocol (Protocol) is adopted in relation to a particular conveyancing transaction, the contract must incorporate the latest edition of the SCS. Using special conditions Step 13 of the Protocol states that additional conditions should only be included

The Standard Conditions of Sale (Fifth Edition—2018 Revision) (SCS) are a set of standard conditions which form the basis of the majority of contracts for the sale and purchase of residential property in England and Wales. For further guidance on the SCS, see Practice Note: Standard Conditions of Sale (Fifth Edition—2018 Revision)—a guide to the main provisions. This Practice Note looks at how the SCS provide for payment of the completion monies and the issues which commonly arise. It also considers some of the issues to consider when there is a mortgage to be discharged. How much is payable? Condition 6.4 provides that the amount payable by the buyer on completion is the purchase price and the contents price (less any deposit already paid to the seller or their agent) adjusted to take account of: • apportionments made under condition 6.3 (which deals with apportionments) • any compensation to be paid or allowed under condition 7.2 (which deals with late completion) • any sum payable under an insurance policy in accordance with condition

This Practice Note covers how the Standard Conditions of Sale (Fifth Edition—2018 Revision) (SCS) provide for the insurance of the property, what happens if the property is damaged before completion and what happens if the buyer takes early access to the property. What happens if the property is damaged or destroyed between exchange and completion? Condition 5.1 of the SCS provides that risk in the property passes to the buyer from the date of the contract. This reflects the open contract position. If the property is damaged or destroyed between exchange and completion, the buyer will still be required to complete. However, the seller does owe the buyer a duty to take reasonable care of the property. Who insures between exchange and completion? Previous versions of the SCS did not deal with responsibility for insurance comprehensively and complications could arise. Ordinarily, as the property is at the buyer’s risk from exchange, the buyer should insure the property from exchange of contracts. The buyer’s conveyancer should
