Document background
The Amended And Restated Agreement is a crucial document used when substantial changes to an existing agreement necessitate a comprehensive rewrite while maintaining certain original provisions. This document type is particularly relevant under Belgian law, where the 2023 Civil Code reforms have introduced new requirements for contract modification and interpretation. It serves to consolidate the original agreement and all subsequent amendments into a single, clear document, making it easier to understand and implement the current obligations between parties. The agreement should be drafted in compliance with Belgian linguistic requirements and include specific references to which provisions have been amended and which remain unchanged. It's commonly used in complex commercial transactions, corporate restructurings, or when multiple amendments have made the original agreement difficult to follow.
