Reported terms and dispute process
- Standard payment terms
The Firm/Company does not have standard payment terms with trade suppliers. The payment terms with trade suppliers range from 'due on receipt of invoice' to 60 days. The most frequently used payment term with trade suppliers in the reporting period is 30 days.
The most frequently used payment terms and the range of payment terms have not changed during the reporting period.
In addition to trade suppliers, the Firm/Company also incurs disbursements on behalf of its clients. Disbursements are amounts payable to third parties on behalf of the client and which are invoiced to the client in accordance with terms agreed by the client. With limited exceptions, the standard payment terms with suppliers for disbursements are 'pay when paid'. This means that the supplier is paid when the Firm/Company is in receipt of funds in respect of the disbursements. Once the Firm/Company is in receipt of funds for these disbursements the Solicitors Accounts Rules require that these payments be made within 2 days. The Firm/Company invariably comply with this requirement. A significant proportion of the Firm/Company payments in the period relate to disbursements which have a major impact on the reported statistics. - Dispute resolution process
It is initially established whether an invoice has been received. If this is not the case, a copy invoice is requested.
If an invoice had already been received, it is then established if the invoice has been appropriately authorised and due for payment in accordance with the agreed payment terms. If this is the case, the payment is made. If this is not the case, the reasons are investigated internally and appropriate action taken.
If the matter cannot be resolved it is referred to the Chief Financial Officer and the Office of the General Counsel .

A registry entry records what the organisation declared in its statement. It is not an independent audit. Group statements can cover several companies; BritDB preserves each exact source-supplied company-number link and excludes approver names and email addresses.

This is a candidate association, not an official Companies House link. The ICO file supplies no company number. The organisation name and postcode uniquely matched this company in the current snapshot. BritDB excludes all DPO contact fields and does not publish unmatched personal entries.

PSC records are company-filed public-register information. When the exact same displayed individual name occurs at multiple companies, BritDB offers a non-indexed cross-reference page. It is a name match only, not proof that the records describe the same person. Service addresses and partial dates of birth are deliberately omitted.
08 Charity register
Charity Commission links
No exact company-number link in this snapshot
The Charity Commission extract did not explicitly associate this Companies House number with a charity. BritDB does not use a name-only match to fill the gap.
This company-level check covers the Charity Commission for England and Wales. Links are accepted only when the official extract supplies this exact company registration number. Scottish charities now have separate OSCR profiles, but OSCR’s bulk fields do not provide a Companies House number, so BritDB does not infer a company link.
09 Northern Ireland charity register
CCNI exact company links
No unambiguous company-number link found
The CCNI source number did not resolve uniquely to this Companies House record. BritDB did not use a name or address match.
CCNI publishes company numbers without a jurisdiction prefix. BritDB links only when the plausible padded UK and NI candidates resolve to exactly one Companies House company.
10 Sanctions screening
UK Sanctions List
No exact business-registration-number link found
The imported UK Sanctions List did not supply this Companies House number as a UK-linked business identifier. BritDB did not attempt a name-only match.
No exact link is not sanctions clearance. UK restrictions can apply through ownership or control even where an entity is not separately named. Always use the current official list and obtain appropriate advice for a legally significant decision.
11 Public procurement
Find a Tender links
No exact GB-COH link in this snapshot
Find a Tender did not explicitly identify this Companies House number in a procurement party. BritDB did not attempt a name-only match.
These links use only the GB-COH identifier supplied in the procurement record. A company may have other public-sector work that is absent, older, below publication thresholds or published without a Companies House identifier.
12 Environmental register
Environment Agency waste registrations
No exact company-number registration linked
The licensed Environment Agency subset did not contain this exact Companies House number. BritDB did not attempt a name-only match.
This is a privacy-reduced, exact-company subset. The full official register also includes sole traders and applicants without a matching Companies House number. Check the current Environment Agency register before relying on registration status.
