Under English law, succession to movable assets is governed by the law of the deceased’s domicile, whereas in the case of immovables, it is the law of the jurisdiction in which the immovables are situated. Some jurisdictions, however, will not treat movables and immovables separately or differently. They will insist on the whole estate being dealt with under the law of domicile of the deceased, regardless of the nature of the assets or their location. We understand that Brazil is a country which applies such a unitarian approach. Accordingly, as the deceased was domiciled in Brazil at the time of death, an

The guidance available on Lexis+® UK and Lexis®+ UK Legal Research is based on the laws of England and Wales. A Will made in another jurisdiction is fully recognised in Türkiye except for the parts relating to any immovable properties located within Türkiye, if any.

As a general rule (subject to some exceptions), for stamp duty land tax (SDLT) to apply to a land transaction, there must be chargeable consideration. This is generally consideration in money or money’s worth but can

We have assumed that: • a long leaseholder is assigning its superior leasehold interest to a purchaser for consideration • the long leasehold is subject to a further leasehold interest, and • the long leaseholder’s tenant is also assigning its leasehold interest to the same purchaser The stamp duty land tax (SDLT)

Length of the term of the NDA In relation to the term of the non-disclosure agreement (NDA), this will quite simply be the term which is necessary to cover whatever relationship is being carried out commercially between the parties to the NDA who will be making disclosures only during its term—see for example: clause 2.1 of Precedent: Confidentiality agreement—one-way—pro-discloser. It is important to note that the length of the ongoing obligation of confidentiality beyond the term of the NDA is different concept to the term of the NDA itself. In answering this Q&A, we have therefore focussed on the duration of the ongoing confidentiality obligation beyond termination of the NDA itself. Length of the ongoing obligation of confidentiality beyond the term In relation to the ongoing obligation of confidentiality beyond the term, by way of example

When assigning a certificate of sponsorship (CoS) in any of the Tier 2 or Tier 5 categories, sponsors must identify the most appropriate standard occupational classification (SOC) code—as described in Appendix J of the Immigration Rules and specify that SOC code on the CoS itself. In relation to the selection of SOC codes, Appendix J states: ‘Occupation codes 11. The Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) codes are based on the SOC 2010 system designed by the Office for National Statistics, except where otherwise stated. This system is designed to cover all possible jobs. 12. References to "job" refer to the most appropriate match for the job in question, as it appears in the tables in this Appendix. The job description must correlate with the most appropriate match, according to the SOC 2010 system. The Home Office will apply the most appropriate match based on the job description in an application,

Standard of consent required under PECR 2003 Practice Note: Cookies and other storage and access technologies explains that historically, consent was not expressly defined in Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 (PECR 2003), SI 2003/2426, with the regulations instead referring to the ePrivacy Directive, which in turn referred to the Data Protection Directive. With the repeal of the Data Protection Directive by the General Data Protection Regulation, Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (the GDPR), Article 94(2) of the GDPR specified that references to the Data Protection Directive should be construed as references to the GDPR. From 29 March 2019, the Data Protection, Privacy and Electronic Communications (Amendments etc) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (the DPPEC Regulations), SI 2019/419, reg 8 amended PECR 2003, SI 2003/2426, reg 2 so as to insert

This question raises a variety of possible outcomes, much depending upon the nature of the dispute which the court is being asked to consider. The court always has power to grant a declaration as to the meaning of a contractual provision. Quite often such a claim will come before it by way of Part 8 claim. The factual dispute between the parties will likely be limited, this can be seen under CPR 8.1(2). It will be common ground that there is a contract. Its terms will be common ground. The dispute will be as to the meaning of those terms. The court can correct minor errors by way of construction. For this to happen, first there must be a clear mistake on the face of the instrument,

Sections 2 to 7 of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (EU(W)A 2018), as amended by the European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Act 2020 (EU(WA)A 2020), make provision for the retention of existing EU law in domestic law after the end of the Brexit transition/implementation period (IP completion day), namely: • EU-derived domestic legislation, including legislation that implements EU directives (see EU(W)A 2018, s 2) • direct EU legislation, such as Regulations, Decisions and other EU tertiary legislation (see EU(W)A 2018, s 3) • certain rights, powers, etc. available under section 2(1) of the European Communities Act 1972 (see ECA 1972) (EU(W)A 2018, s 4) EU directives are not themselves retained by EU(W)A 2018—EU directives are not within the scope of retained EU law. However, UK domestic legislation that implements EU directives is within the scope of retained EU law. Moreover, by EU(W)A 2018,

In answering this Q&A we have limited our research to cover the assured shorthold tenancy element (AST), not the probate, HM Land Registry, SDLT, or potential transaction at undervalue elements. Practice Note: Property deeds—use and execution of deeds in property transactions sets out the guidance HM Land Registry has given in respect of execution of deeds for these purposes. For further information see Practice Guidance 8.

Further,Hill and Redman's Law of Landlord and Tenant at para 642 (B Leases: Requisites for creation of leases) states that: '…and where the lessee
