In a recent Supreme Court case, a counterparts clause was held to be a "subject to contract" provision because it included wording specifying that the agreement would only take effect when all the parties had signed it.

What is a pre-pack?
A pre-pack is the name given to an arrangement under which the sale of all or part of a company’s business or assets is negotiated with a purchaser before the appointment of an administrator. The sale is completed by the administrator shortly after their appointment. This reverses the standard process, where the administrators start marketing the business after they have been appointed. The purchaser may be a competitor or, as is often the case, the existing management team.
