Post-completion environmental issues (asset purchase)—checklist In an asset purchase transaction, the buyer acquires only those assets and assumes only those liabilities it wishes to acquire (as set out in the asset purchase agreement). Post-completion, the buyer may need to deal with specific environmental, health and safety (EHS) issues, revealed through due diligence. For example, the buyer may need to transfer or apply for a permit, join a packaging waste compliance scheme or improve health & safety documentation post completion. Common post completion EHS issues in asset purchase transactions include: • transferring environmental permits • checking whether the purchase has triggered any new obligations under environmental regimes, such as producer responsibility, energy efficiency and carbon schemes • addressing issues raised in any environmental audits and reports and any contract conditions • advising on environmental insurance and other risk mitigation strategies • obtaining reliance agreements or collateral warranties for reliance on environmental reports Transfer of environmental permits In an asset sale, the name of the operator/permit holder will change.

Rectification is an equitable remedy by which the court can correct an error of expression where a written document does not match the parties' intention. It is available only in relation to written contracts and other documents. An oral agreement cannot be rectified. This Practice Note explains the principles applicable in considering whether an error can be corrected by interpretation rather than rectification and the elements of a claim for rectification for mutual or common mistake. For more information in respect of a mistake made by one party, see Practice Note: Rectification—unilateral mistake.Interpretation or rectification?The starting point in considering a claim for the correction of an error is to ask whether the error can be solved by means of interpretation rather than rectification. At common law, rectification is not available and so the only way in which an error of expression can be corrected at common law is by applying the ordinary rules of interpretation. As a matter of principle, the equitable remedy of rectification ought not to be granted...
Rectification is an equitable remedy by which the court can correct an error of expression where a written document does not match the parties' intention. It is only available for written contracts and other documents (not oral agreements). This Practice Note explains when a solicitor is under a duty to point out unilateral drafting errors and when a unilateral mistake is simply an error of judgment.For rectification for common mistake, see Practice Note: Rectification—mutual mistake.When is rectification available?Rectification for unilateral mistake is available where one party makes a mistake in a document, the other party is aware of the error in their favour, and unconscionably takes advantage of it. Three elements must be present:•by the claimant’s mistake the agreement did not give effect to their subjective intention at the time of execution•there was no mistake by the defendant•the defendant was aware of the claimant’s mistake at the time of execution, and there was unconscionable behaviour by inducing execution or by standing by and allowing itIn Littman v Aspen Oil there...

Instead of rectification, can the Chartbrook principle (Chartbrook v Persimmon) be used to correct a drafting error in a contract that was intended to have a clause providing for auto-renewal at the end of the contract, but which contains a drafting error which renders the auto-renewal clause nonsensical? Rectification is an equitable remedy aimed at amending a document to accord with the intention of the parties. Parties to a contract may have had a common intention or understanding when they drew up their contract as to what it meant but, somehow, that meaning has not been reflected in the drafting, ie it is different from the objective meaning of the contractual document as ascertained in accordance with the rules of contract interpretation. Alternatively, a mistake may be able to be corrected by means of construction ie, seeking a declaration of the court as to the meaning of the relevant clause, rather than by applying for rectification. In Investors Compensation Scheme v West Bromwich Building Society, Lord Hoffmann set out...
Where the decree absolute/final order reflects the names of the parties as per the marriage certificate, but the marriage certificate itself is incorrect, can the decree absolute/final order be amended without seeking to amend the original marriage certificate? The parties were married abroad It is possible for the court to correct an irregularity in a final divorce order. This power is provided for by the Family Procedure Rules 2010 (FPR 2010), SI 2010/2955, 29.16 (the slip rule) or FPR 2010, SI 2010/2955, 4.1(6) (power to vary or revoke). An application under the slip rule may be made without notice, but is perhaps better suited to minor corrections, for example, a spelling mismatch between the marriage certificate and the final order. It is suggested that in the circumstances outlined in the question an application on notice adopting the FPR 2010, SI 2010/2955, Pt 18 procedure invoking FPR 2010, SI 2010/2955, 4.1(6) may be more appropriate. In X v Y (Divorce: Rectification of Decrees), McFarlane P relied on this power to...
