This article deals with the proposals of the City of London Law Society (CLLS) Financial Law Committee to the Law Commission in connection with their review of the law on deeds, likely to be one of the projects in their 14th Programme of Law Reform. Proposals focus on resolving a number of issues related to the execution of deeds, including in the form of electronic documents, as well as resolution of some conflict of laws issues, clarification of when a deed is required and of the status of a “failed” deed.
