It is no surprise, then, that brands are diverting more and more of their marketing spend from traditional media to...

When issuing a claim form (for a debt matter) where the defendant is a company based in Jersey, the court has advised we need to provide a completed Form N510 but they cannot advise which box to tick. How is Jersey classed? Jersey is part of the Channel Islands. The islands are a crown dependency. Form N510 can only be used where permission of the court is not required to serve a claim form out of the jurisdiction. it is therefore important to determine whether the court’s permission is required to serve the claim form in Jersey. Permission is not required if any of the provisions in CPR 6.33 apply. Where proceedings were issued prior to 31 December 2020 at 11 pm, permission will not be required if the provisions in CPR 6.33(2) apply. These cover proceedings in which: • the defendant is not a consumer, but is a party to a consumer contract within Article 17 of the Judgments Regulation • the defendant is an...
Can an overseas company sign an English law contract on behalf of its UK branch? The Companies Act 2006 defines an ‘overseas company’ as any company incorporated outside the UK.
