Local Authorities Deed Execution

Summary

Local authorities in England generally execute deeds by affixing a seal, as governed by Section 74 of the Local Government Act 1972. However, the Companies Act 2006 permits execution without a seal if specific conditions are met. Common law, based on judicial precedents, plays a significant role in the English legal system. For debt recovery from Ireland, local authorities may need to initiate legal proceedings in Ireland, cooperate with Irish legal entities, and take additional steps for judgment enforcement. Consulting a lawyer specializing in international debt recovery is advisable for detailed guidance.
