To survive, or not to survive? Some conditions precedent pitfalls to look out for

One of the important aspects of written agreements being subject to the fulfilment or waiver of certain agreed conditions precedent, or suspensive conditions, (CPs) before the substantive provisions of the agreement become of force and effect, is the so-called “ surviving provisions/clauses ” (also known as “ immediately effective provisions/clauses ”). In the ordinary course, the crux of the transaction contemplated in such an agreement and the clauses relating to it are suspended from the signature date until all of the CPs are fulfilled or waived (if permissible and applicable) by an agreed date or dates (fulfilment date). If all of the CPs are not fulfilled or waived by the fulfilment date, the agreement effectively falls away and will be of no force or effect. However, it should be borne in mind that the parties to an agreement with CPs may very well intend for certain of the clauses in the agreement to come into force and effect from the signature date of the agreement and to survive the falling away of the substantive provisions due to non-fulfilment of theCPs.

Obtaining and managing evidence in corporate forensic investigations: Legality, sources and integrity

The manner in which evidence is obtained and relied upon during forensic investigations plays a critical role in the whole investigative process, especially in establishing investigation findings and making recommendations that can be acted upon. In the context of internal corporate investigations, it is often challenging to obtain the required information from employees who are subjected to the investigation processes where such information is not known or accessible to the employer. While it is known that forensic investigators have the capabilities to obtain the necessary information, in order to maintain the integrity of the evidence, information must be obtained legally and directly from the relevantsources.
