What does Warrant mean?

A tradeable security which gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell a specified asset at a specified price on a specified date or dates. A warrant is a kind of derivative—it derives its value from the underlying asset and is a way of obtaining exposures to the value fo the underlying asset without owning it. Warrants are sometimes described as ‘securitised derivatives’—ie derivatives in the form of securities. A warrant is not a debt security and therefore does not have a principal amount, contains no covenant to repay and does not bear interest.

Terminating an assured shorthold tenancy under section 21 of the Housing Act 1988–flowchart

Terminating an assured shorthold tenancy under section 21 of the Housing Act 1988–flowchart This Flowchart sets out the procedure for terminating an assured shorthold tenancy (AST) under section 21 of the Housing Act 1988 (HA 1988) using the standard possession procedure, including the timing for serving a section 21 notice, issuing proceedings and stages in the proceedings leading to an order for possession. Where HA 1988 applies, unless a tenant agrees to vacate a property voluntarily, a landlord can only recover possession by following the procedures set out in HA 1988, ss 8 or 21, by obtaining an order for possession and enforcing it. For further guidance, see Practice Note: Assured and assured shorthold tenancies—terminating. HA 1988, s 21 allows a landlord to bring a fixed term AST to an end on giving the tenant at least two months’ written notice, on the exercise of a break notice during a fixed term or at the end of, or after the end of a fixed term tenancy. It also applies to...

Will interpretation—property passing on death

Will interpretation—property passing on death Rules relating to the construction of Wills have developed over many years and those surrounding the interpretation of dispositions were quite unclear due to the differing rules relating to personalty and realty. This was changed by the statutory effect of the Administration of Justice Act 1982 (AJA 1982). The case of Marley v Rawlings confirmed that the modern approach is to ascertain the testator’s intention from their words. While no longer as definitive as they were previously, many of the previous rules remain a helpful starting point. On the basis of the caselaw in this area, practitioners are advised to use only precedents that are in common usage and not to depart from them without careful consideration. References to property in a Will speak from the date of death A reference to real and/or personal property (for a discussion of real and personal estate, see Practice Note: Devolution of assets and the need for a grant) in a Will speaks from the...

What powers does an investigator have to compel the witness to provide a statement during a criminal investigation, where a witness is known to be in the possession of crucial evidence, but is unwilling to provide a section 9 witness statement? Can the witness be forced to give evidence at trial?

What powers does an investigator have to compel the witness to provide a statement during a criminal investigation, where a witness is known to be in the possession of crucial evidence, but is unwilling to provide a section 9 witness statement? Can the witness be forced to give evidence at trial? Certain regulators have specific powers to compel witnesses to give statements during investigations. These are statutory powers which can be used during an investigation into suspected offences and the witness is compelled to attend the interview to answer questions or to provide information. However, as these are powers to compel and the witness has no right of silence as they would do in an interview under caution, there are statutory safeguards restricting the use of any information obtained from the compulsory interview powers. The contents of the interviews cannot be used in evidence against the maker in their subsequent criminal trial unless: • the trial is a prosecution for an offence of providing false or...
