Associated legal terms
Know-how
Know-how is information that can be protected under the law of confidence. It can be recorded in any form or held in the memory of an individual. Know-how is not strictly a form of property in its own right, although it is often treated as a form of intellectual property.
Letter-box company
Referred to in Re Eurofood IFSC C-341/04 as a company not carrying out any business in the state where the registered office is located: the presumption that centre of main interests (COMI) corresponds to the registered office can therefore be rebutted.
Material adverse effect/material adverse change
Material adverse effect is a concept commonly used in facilities agreements to qualify representations, undertakings and events of default. Material adverse change may be included in facilities agreements as an event of default and mandate letters as a condition to financing.
