What does Money mean?

Money may be defined as a medium of exchange and is generally accepted in the final discharge of debts and the payment of goods and services.

The law recognises various meanings of money including (1) it serves as a common standard of value to which the values of different commodities may be defined; (2) as a unit of account for debts and liabilities; and (3) as purchasing power or store of value. The term 'money' refers to banknotes and coins as legal tender, and may also refer to not only to actual cash but also a right to receive cash as in a credit of a bank account or that which is invested in securities.

Checklist for compromises of FCA-regulated entities: information requirements

Checklist for compromises of FCA-regulated entities: information requirements The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is the conduct regulator for financial services firms and financial markets in the United Kingdom. It has a duty under section 1B of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (FSMA 2000) to pursue certain objectives, one of which is the consumer protection objective. The FCA lists its statutory objectives as to secure an appropriate degree of protection for consumers and to protect and enhance the integrity of UK financial markets, with a view to reducing the number of proposed compromises that they do not consider to be appropriate (see FG22/4, para 1.2). On 5 July 2022, the FCA published guidance on compromises of regulated firms (see FCA Guidance FG22/4 July 2022 and updated in January 2024) following their significant concerns about these tools being proposed and used by firms to avoid paying customers redress (see: LNB News 05/07/2022 72). Practitioners will need to take note of the guidance where the proposed compromise involves regulated companies, meaning...

Guide to the council budget decision

Guide to the council budget decision What is the budget? By 11 March each year, each Council must set an amount of council tax. Behind this, are a set of calculations laid down in legislation which boil down to the amount by which expenditure exceeds income in accordance with the required calculations and which then forms, in England, the authority’s ‘council tax requirement’ (whereas in Wales, it is still referred to as the ‘budget requirement’). For further information on council tax, see Practice Note: Council tax. Income will come from: • government grants (both general and ring-fenced) • business rates (national non-domestic rates (NNDR)), see Practice Note: National non-domestic rates—billing recovery, exemptions and reliefs • investments, and • fees or charges that the law may permit the Council to operate The Council may also make use of financial reserves it has for this purpose. Council tax itself is subject to certain strictures, not least of which is the capping regime, which then limits the amount of income that can be...

Parliamentary procedure

Parliamentary procedure Types of Bill Most Bills are Public Bills, aimed at a change the law as it applies to everyone. Most Public Bills are government Bills, introduced by ministers either as part of their planned legislative programme, or in response to events. A Public Bill introduced by an MP or a Member of the House of Lords who is not a government minister is called a Private Member’s Bill. Relatively few Private Members’ Bills become law. It is important to keep Private Members’ Bills distinct from Private Bills. Private Bills aim at changing the law in a way that only affects particular individuals or organisations, rather than changing the general law affecting everyone. Each year a number of them are promoted in Parliament by outside organisations. For example, Transport for London (TfL) promoted the Transport for London Bill, aimed at giving TfL further financial and management powers. This Bill became the Transport for London Act 2016. Other examples are the University of London Bill, promoted...

Further, in circumstances where a share sale and purchase agreement will be signed and the acquisition will complete on the same day, is such a split in CPs under the facility agreement necessary? The convention of splitting conditions precedent (CPs), into ‘CPs to signing the agreement’ and ‘CPs to initial utilisation’, reflects the fact that company acquisitions typically involve a split ‘exchange’, where the key documents are executed and the parties commit to the transaction (subject to certain conditions), and completion, where the money moves and the company or group legally changes hands. Certain CPs, such as corporate authorities, can be given prior to signing, while CPs such as security by the target group can’t be given until completion (the documents can be
