Once all these matters have been agreed to the satisfaction of the parties, they are said to have reached agreement "subject to contract". The agreement will not be binding until there has been a formal exchange of contracts. This means that, although the parties have agreed in principle and may have spent significant sums of money on legal fees, search fees, fees to the lender, either party may withdraw from the transaction.

Record 3 2010-05-05

English

Subject field(s)
  • Sentencing
OBS

plea discussions: term usually used in the plural in this context.

OBS

Plea bargaining.... Crown counsel and defence counsel negotiate out of court, and reach an agreement. Without purporting rigidly to limit the area on which agreements may be made, we say that usually such agreements are : 1. That Crown counsel will, if the accused pleads guilty to a lesser charge, withdraw a major charge.... 2. That Crown counsel, in return for a plea of guilty by the accused to a charge, will recommend to the Court the imposition of some lenient form of sentence, say probation. Or there may be a bargain which embraces both the above factors.

OBS

People in the business like to call it plea negotiation.

OBS

For reasons that will become evident in the course of this working paper, ... we prefer to abandon the expression "plea bargaining" (which, to some, has an inherently negative connotation) in favour of more neutral terminology. In our view, the process with which we are concerned (though unquestionably flawed) may better be described as that of "plea negotiation", or the holding of "plea discussions". The object of that process is to reach a satisfactory agreement, not to give the accused a "bargain." Accordingly, our recommendations eschew the expression "plea bargain" and replace it with "plea agreement". We define that expression (again, in neutral terms) as "any agreement by the accused to plead guilty in return for the prosecutor’s agreeing to take or refrain from taking a particular course of action".

CONT

[...] le marchandage de plaidoyers est une entente intervenue hors de cour entre d'une part un procureur de la Couronne, - qui cherche à régler la cause avec un minimum de temps et de frais, - et, d'autre part, l'accusé qui espère voir réduire le nombre ou la gravité des accusations portées ou obtenir le choix d'un procès sommaire ou une réduction de peine. Par une telle entente le procureur de la Couronne promet à l'accusé, en échange de son consentement à plaider coupable, de recommander au juge d'entériner cette promesse.

OBS

Les spécialistes préfèrent parler de négociation de plaidoyers.

Article XXVIII refers to the Article of the General Agreement which deals with the procedure to be followed when a contracting party intends to modify its Schedule. In broad terms, Article XXVIII stipulates that a contracting party can withdraw or modify a concession in its GATT Schedule after negotiation and agreement with any contracting party with which the concession was originally negotiated and any contracting party which is recognized to have a principal or a substantial supplying interest with a view to offering compensation. Notifications of changes in GATT Schedules should include a list of items to be modified or withdrawn, accompanied by statistics of imports of the products involved, by country of origin, for the last three years for which statistics are available.
