A Deed of Mutual Release is commonly used in England and Wales when parties wish to achieve a clean break and prevent future claims arising from past dealings. This document is particularly valuable when concluding business relationships, settling disputes, or terminating contracts where parties want certainty that no future claims will arise. The deed format provides enhanced enforceability and a longer limitation period (12 years) compared to simple contracts. It typically includes detailed provisions about the scope of release, warranties, and any exceptions to the release.
