Ireland—Contracting on another party’s standard terms and conditions (B2B)—checklist

Ireland—Contracting on another party’s standard terms and conditions (B2B)—checklist This Checklist sets out the key issues to consider when contracting on another party’s standard form terms and conditions. This Checklist is relevant for business-to-business terms transactions only. Unless you have a very strong bargaining position, you will have to deal on other’s standard terms from time to time, especially when you are buying goods and/or services. How far you want to go in challenging the standard form terms of another party will depend on the overall importance of the contract, its length and value and the importance to your business of the goods or services supplied. A key issue when faced with third party terms is extending the supplier’s liability so that their duty towards you is greater and maximising the extent of your recoverable losses if the supplier fails to perform satisfactorily. Incorporation of your requirements Ensure any specific terms or requirements are effectively incorporated. You should try and include as many of your requirements as possible as specific...

Can a part-time, fixed-term or term-time only employee be prevented from working elsewhere during the times they are not working for the employer?

Can a part-time, fixed-term or term-time only employee be prevented from working elsewhere during the times they are not working for the employer? An employee will be under certain implied duties during employment. These will vary depending on the seniority of the employee and whether they are subject to a duty of fidelity or a more onerous fiduciary duty. For further details, see Practice Note: The duty of fidelity and fiduciary duties. An employer may wish to confirm or supplement these implied duties by seeking to restrain an employee from undertaking any business activities other than those of the employer during employment, whether within or outside working hours. For further guidance on these provisions generally, see the section of Practice Note: Restrictions and other express terms during employment entitled ‘Restrictions on other business activities’. Consideration should be given to whether any ban on spare time business activity should be total or partial: • a total ban seeks to prevent any business activity—this would typically be more appropriate for a senior,...

Can an application under section 37 of the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973 for a freezing order be made after a final order has been granted?

Can an application under section 37 of the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973 for a freezing order be made after a final order has been granted? Section 37 of the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973 (MCA 1973) is a powerful weapon. It enables the court to restrain a proposed disposition of an asset, or to set aside a disposition of an asset. As a result, a party who seeks to, for example, transfer property to a family member with a view to it falling outside of the matrimonial pot can be thwarted by the operation of the section. The disposition must be made with the intention of defeating the claim of a spouse for financial relief, which is a high bar; however pursuant to MCA 1973, s 37(5), this intention is presumed (though the presumption is rebuttable) where the disposition was made within three years of the date of the application to set aside the disposition. The section does not apply to dispositions made for valuable consideration to a bona fide third...
