England & Wales: law explained like a human wrote it.

A4 Mark “Jointly and severally”. Your attorneys can make decisions together or on their own, and if one of them dies or can no longer act, the LPA still works.

A6 LP1H, section 5: sign Option A, “I give my attorneys authority to give or refuse consent to life-sustaining treatment on my behalf.”

B1 INSTRUCTION — “My attorneys must not sell my home unless, in my doctor’s opinion, I can no longer live independently.”

C2 Anyone deciding something for me in my best interests, when I lack capacity to decide it myself, must consider, so far as is reasonably ascertainable, my past and present wishes and feelings, in particular any relevant written statement I made while I had capacity.

C3 This statement is not a lasting power of attorney and gives no one authority to act for me. It is not an advance decision to refuse treatment under sections 24 to 26 of the Act, and it binds no one.

4 The tenancy begins on 1 November 2026, the date on which the tenant is first entitled to possession of the home. It is a periodic tenancy: its rent periods are of one month, the first beginning on that date, and it runs from one rent period to the next with no end date.

5 The rent is £1,150 for each rent period of one month. It is due on the first day of each rent period.

6 The tenant pays a tenancy deposit of £1,326.92 (five weeks’ rent) when this agreement is signed.

14 The tenant may end the tenancy by giving the landlord notice to quit in writing at least two months before the day on which it is to end.

15 In most circumstances the landlord can bring the tenancy to an end only by obtaining an order of the court for possession of the home and the execution of that order.

1 The seller sells and the buyer buys the car with the registration number, the VIN and the make and model in its V5C log book, with the mileage both parties read at the handover.

3 The buyer pays the whole price at the handover, and the car becomes the buyer’s property when it is paid in full. The car, its keys and the green “new keeper” slip change hands when the money has arrived.

6 This is a private sale, so the law implies no term about the car’s quality. The buyer buys it as seen, with the faults the seller has listed, but “as seen” does not cover a misrepresentation: an untrue statement about the car made before signing.

8 The seller declares whether there is finance on the car. Finance that is declared is paid off before the handover, against the lender’s written confirmation, because a buyer who knows of a hire purchase agreement loses the protection the Hire Purchase Act 1964 gives a private buyer.

10 At the handover the seller gives the buyer the green “new keeper” slip and tells DVLA of the sale straight away. Vehicle tax does not pass with the car: the buyer taxes it before driving away.

2.1 “Confidential Information” means any information, in any form — spoken, written, electronic or otherwise — that one Party (the “Discloser”), or anyone on its behalf, gives the other (the “Recipient”) in connection with the Purpose, and that is marked as confidential or that a reasonable person would understand to be confidential.

4.1 The Recipient shall keep the Discloser’s Confidential Information confidential, shall use it only for the Purpose, and shall not disclose it to anyone except as clauses 4.2, 5 and 6 allow.

6.1 Nothing in this agreement prevents or restricts anyone from reporting a suspected offence, co-operating with a regulator, making a protected disclosure, making a disclosure the law requires or protects, or taking advice in confidence.

7.1 This agreement covers Confidential Information given in the three (3) years after the date on which the last of the Parties signs it. The duties run on after that, and for trade secrets for as long as they remain trade secrets.

10.2 If the Parties choose an Agreed Sum, a Party that breaches clause 4 pays it for each breach, without the other Party having to prove its loss. A larger loss can still be claimed, with the sum counted towards it.
