Letter of Intent

Updated 12 April 2022 A letter of intent (LOI), also called term sheet, expression or indication of interest in the commercial sectors is an informal offer or recap of the parties’ position on how they would proceed on a business proposal or venture. In the shipbuilding and offshore industry, where discussions on technical, commercial and legal matters leading up to a formal contract are complex and lengthy, letters of intent (LOIs) will often be used as prelude to the formation of a formal contract. Thus, LOIs will be used:   ·        Where the scope of work has been identified, but there are still outstanding items like selection of main engine suppliers, financing, guarantees, and board approvals that need to be finalised.   ·        At other times, LOI may be signed on condition that the parties will enter into a shipbuilding contract after the buyer’s bid for a shipbuilding project is successful, or where the parties intend to bid for a project jointly.

Shipbuilding Guarantees: Anti-Discharge Provisions and the Purview Doctrine

Image
  In shipbuilding contracts there will inevitably be variations to the specification, plans, drawings, delivery date, and the contract price.   Whether such variations can discharge the guarantor’s obligation under related payment or refund guarantees will depend on whether such guarantees are a traditional or a demand guarantee. With regard to traditional guarantee, it was held in Holme v Brunskill   [1] , that any material variation of the underlying contract without the surety’s consent will discharge the surety from liability under the guarantee, except where it is self-evident that the alteration is insubstantial or beneficial to the surety. This is also because the liability of the debtor and surety under a traditional guarantee are co-extensive. In contrast, the rule will not apply to a demand guarantee, which is payable without proof or condition, independent of the underlying contract and can simply be activated by a demand made on the bank. To circumvent the rule in Holme v
