A Letter of Novation is a crucial legal instrument used when there's a need to substitute either a party to an existing contract or replace an existing obligation with a new one under Maltese law. This document type is commonly used in corporate restructuring, assignment of contracts, or when businesses undergo mergers and acquisitions. The letter must comply with Malta's Civil Code requirements, particularly Articles 1179-1182, which govern novation. It typically includes identification of all parties, references to the original agreement, specific terms of the novation, and the effective date. The document ensures a clean break from the original obligation while establishing new rights and responsibilities, making it particularly important in commercial transactions where clear documentation of such changes is essential for legal certainty.
