Application of this ScheduleE+W

2(1)This Schedule applies where—E+W

(a)a person (““the original buyer””) enters into a contract (““the original contract””) for the acquisition by the original buyer of a chargeable interest under which the acquisition is to be completed by a transfer, and

(b)there is a pre-completion transaction.

(2)The reference in sub-paragraph (1)(a) to a contract does not include a contract that is an assignment of rights in relation to another contract.

(3)For any one contract for the acquisition of a chargeable interest there is only one original buyer (and for the purposes of this Schedule joint original buyers are to be treated as one original buyer).
