  • When the deed is done

    Deeds are used in a commercial context for various reasons. One such use is to record settlement agreements between parties in dispute. Considering the importance of these instruments, it is crucial that companies entering into deeds are certain as to the point in time when a deed becomes binding on, and therefore irrevocable by, one or more parties.
