THE DELPHI SURVEY Sample Clauses

THE DELPHI SURVEY. The Delphi survey formed the first phase of the study. It had the advantage of providing an ‘expert’ perspective and consensus of which activities and interventions were important when caring for children in A&E Departments. It was anticipated that the findings of this study would ameliorate the uncertainty and lack of evidence identified in the available literature (Chapter 2). An ‘expert’ is defined as a ‘specialist’ in a particular field (Xxxxxxx et al 1999), an informed individual (Xx Xxxxx et al 1994) or a person with knowledge pertaining to a specific subject (Xxxxx et al 1999). For the purpose of this study, ‘an expert’ is a clinician with specialist knowledge of emergency medicine, and who has an overview of policies, procedures and standards pertaining to the care of children in A&E Departments. The Delphi survey technique was developed by the Rand Corporation in the early 1950’s for the purpose of gaining consensus from a panel of ‘experts’ (Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx 2001, Xxxxxx et al 2011). During this study the panelists were therefore asked to contribute to a series of questionnaires pertaining to children’s A&E nursing in an attempt to gain consensus regarding the phenomenon under investigation. This is sometimes described as an ‘iterative multistage process’ (XxXxxxx 1994) for the purpose of combining individual opinion into a group consensus. The first round is often unstructured and data received from this round are sorted by the researcher to formulate statements that are used in the second round. The second round invites participants to rank their agreement or disagreement with the statements using a Likert scale. Consecutive rounds typically include statements where consensus has not been achieved. A Delphi survey normally involves three to four rounds (XxXxxxx 1994, Xxxxxxx-Xxxxx & Read 2001). The lack of available empirical evidence identified from the scoping review pertaining to the activities and interventions associated with the care of children in A&E Departments led to the decision to utilise a Delphi survey. Additionally, the survey approach allowed access to a dispersed group of A&E experts throughout the UK in an economic and timely manner. Three rounds were used because of concerns that the busy working schedule of A&E nurses and doctors may make it difficult to retain participants for more than three rounds. Furthermore, there was little evidence that additional rounds increase the data yield and concern that the response rate ma...

TITLE POLICY: Seller shall furnish to Buyer at Seller’s Buyer’s expense an owner policy of title insurance (Title Policy) issued by (Title Company) in the amount of the Sales Price, dated at or after closing, insuring Buyer against loss under the provisions of the Title Policy, subject to the promulgated exclusions (including existing building and zoning ordinances) and the following exceptions:

  • Title Commitment (a) Purchaser acknowledges receipt of that certain title insurance commitment dated April 9, 2002 issued by the Title Company under Commitment No. 673945-F (the "TITLE COMMITMENT"), together with copies of the title exceptions listed thereon. Purchaser shall have until the expiration of the Evaluation Period (the "ORIGINAL OBJECTION DATE") to send written notice to Seller of its objections to matters shown on the Title Commitment or the Existing Survey that Purchaser deems unacceptable and shall have until the date (the "NEW OBJECTION DATE") that is five (5) Business Days after receipt by Purchaser's counsel of any update to the Title Commitment or any Updated Survey (or as promptly as possible prior to the Closing with respect to updates received less than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing) to send written notice to Seller of Purchaser's objections to any new exceptions to title to the Real Property raised thereby, provided that Purchaser may object to matters shown on an Updated Survey only if such matters were not shown on the Existing Survey. Purchaser's objections made in accordance with the preceding sentence are referred to herein as "TITLE OBJECTIONS" or "SURVEY OBJECTIONS," as applicable. Purchaser will be deemed to have accepted the exceptions to title set forth on the Title Commitment (as updated) and the matters shown on the Existing Survey and Updated Survey as permitted exceptions (together with any Title Objections and Survey Objections ultimately waived by Purchaser or cured by Seller, the "PERMITTED EXCEPTIONS") unless such matters are objected to by Purchaser in writing by the Original Objection Date or the New Objection Date, as applicable. Seller shall cause the Title Company to furnish to Purchaser a preliminary title report or title commitment, by the terms of which the Title Company agrees to issue to Purchaser at Closing an owner's policy of title insurance (the "TITLE POLICY") in the amount of the Purchase Price on the then standard TLTA owner's form insuring Purchaser's fee simple title to the Real Property, subject to the terms of such policy and the Permitted Exceptions including, without limitation, the standard or general exceptions. The basic premium for the Title Policy shall be at Seller's expense, and Purchaser may request additional coverage under the Title Policy or endorsements or deletions thereto (including, without limitation, the modification or deletion of the survey exception), which shall be, in each case, at Purchaser's expense.

  • Survey Buyer may obtain a survey of the Property before the Closing to assure that there are no defects, encroachments, overlaps, boundary line or acreage disputes, or other such matters, that would be disclosed by a survey ("Survey Problems"). The cost of the survey shall be paid by the Buyer. Not later than business days prior to the Closing, Buyer shall notify Seller of any Survey Problems which shall be deemed to be a defect in the title to the Property. Seller shall be required to remedy such defects within business days and prior to the Closing. If Seller does not or cannot remedy any such defect(s), Buyer shall have the option of canceling this Agreement, in which case the Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned to Buyer.

  • Title Report If no Additional Mortgage Policy is required with respect to such Additional Mortgaged Property, a title report issued by the Title Company with respect thereto, dated not more than 30 days prior to the date such Additional Mortgage is to be recorded and satisfactory in form and substance to Administrative Agent;

  • Title and Survey (a) The Seller shall order and cause to be delivered to each of the Buyer and the Seller a commitment for the Title Policy from the Title Company, together with all underlying title exception documents. The Buyer shall, at its expense, order and cause to be delivered to each of the Buyer and the Seller, an ALTA survey of the Property. After receipt of the survey and the title commitment, the Buyer shall notify the Seller of any defects in title or survey shown by such commitment and/or ALTA survey that the Buyer is unwilling to accept. Within 5 days after such notification, the Seller shall notify the Buyer whether the Seller is willing to cure such defects; the Seller’s failure to so notify the Buyer shall be deemed to be the Seller’s refusal to cure all such defects (except for any defects consisting of those items in the last sentence of this SECTION 3.2 below expressly required to be cured by the Seller). The Seller may cure any defect by causing the Title Company, at the Seller’s sole cost and expense, to omit such defect as an exception to the Title Policy or to “insure over” such defect to the Buyer’s reasonable satisfaction. If the Seller is willing to cure such defects, the Seller shall act promptly, diligently and use commercially reasonable efforts to cure such defects at its expense. Subject to those items below expressly required to be cured by the Seller, if the Seller is unwilling or unable to cure any other such defects by Closing (or fails to notify Buyer and therefore has elected not to cure such defects), then the Buyer shall elect, within 5 days after written notice thereof from the Seller to the Buyer (or within 5 days after the Seller’s time for giving notice has expired without any notice from the Seller), by giving the Seller written notice that the Buyer either (i) waives such defects and shall proceed to Closing without any abatement in the Purchase Price with respect thereto, or (ii) terminates this Agreement and shall be entitled to receive a full and immediate refund of the Xxxxxxx Money and, upon return of the Xxxxxxx Money, this Agreement shall terminate and the Buyer and the Seller shall have no further rights, liabilities or obligations hereunder (except as expressly survive the termination of this Agreement). In the event that the Buyer does not make such election within the applicable time frame, the Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to waive any such defects pursuant to clause (i) above. Subject to those items below expressly required to be cured by the Seller, all title matters not objected to by the Buyer during the Study Period (or objected to but which the Seller declines, or is deemed to decline, to cure as provided above without the Buyer thereafter electing to terminate this Agreement) shall be deemed “Permitted Title Exceptions.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such defects of title consist of mortgages or deeds of trust, any other monetary liens and/or tax liens (other than liens for taxes not yet due and payable), the Buyer shall be deemed to have notified the Seller that the Buyer is unwilling to accept such defects and the Seller covenants and agrees that at or prior to Closing the Seller shall cure by payment, bonding, or escrow deposit acceptable to the Title Company (and the Escrow Agent is authorized to pay and discharge at Closing from the Seller’s proceeds, if not so cured) and cause to be cancelled and discharged such monetary title defects.

  • Title Evidence Seller agrees to share equally with Buyer the closing agent costs and the cost of a title insurance company’s commitment and standard ALTA form owner’s policy (except survey matters) to the Property, showing a marketable title vested in Seller, subject to easements, restrictions, covenants, and other matters of record. Any endorsements shall be paid solely by Buyer. The title evidence shall be presented to prospective Buyer on day of auction. Buyer acknowledges: (a) receipt of the title commitment prior to entering into this agreement; (b) review of the title commitment to the Buyer’s full satisfaction; and (c) waiver of any right to object to any exceptions listed therein. If Seller fails to satisfy all such title requirements imposed on Seller pursuant to title commitment, Buyer may, as its sole remedy and at Buyer’s election, either: (a) cancel this agreement and receive a return of Buyer’s xxxxxxx money and, in that event, this Agreement will be canceled and the parties will have no further obligations to each other; or (b) accept such title as Seller can deliver. Buyer waives any right to seek specific performance or to seek damages from Seller.

  • Title Review Seller shall be obligated to clear any and all encumbrances of title of an ascertainable monetary amount (“Seller Liens”), which Seller’s Liens Seller shall cause to be satisfied and or released at or prior to Closing (with Seller having the right to apply the Purchase Price or a portion thereof for such purpose). Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the Due Diligence Date, Purchaser shall give notice (“Purchaser’s Title Notice”) to Seller of the existence of any encumbrances and defects in title to which Purchaser objects and that are not Permitted Encumbrances (“Title Objections”). Seller shall, within five (5) business days from receipt of Purchaser’s Title Notice, notify Purchaser of those Title Objections that Seller elects not to attempt to remove or correct, provided that failure of Seller to give said notice shall be deemed to mean that Seller shall remove or correct all of Purchaser’s Title Objections. In the event Seller elects to attempt to remove or correct Title Objections(s) and by the later of the Due Diligence Date or the date which is thirty (30) business days following Seller’s receipt of Purchaser’s Title Notice, Seller has not arranged for removal or correction of said Title Objections, then Purchaser shall either (i) terminate this Agreement in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser and the parties hereto shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder, except for rights and obligations which, by their terms, survive the termination hereof, or (ii) accept the condition of the title to the Property as it then is, without diminution of the Purchase Price. If Purchaser fails to elect (i) above, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected (ii) above. Encumbrances and defects to title that are not included in Purchaser’s Title Objections and those Title Objections that are accepted pursuant to this subsection shall be deemed to be Permitted Encumbrances. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller’s Liens shall not be deemed Permitted Encumbrances. Recording fees for recording documents to discharge Title Objections and Seller’s Liens shall be borne by Seller.

  • New Survey Requested Buyer will, at the ☐ Seller’s ☐ Buyer’s ☐ Shared expense and within a timeframe allowed to deliver and examine title evidence, obtain a certified survey of the Property from a certified and registered surveyor within the State. If the survey reveals encroachments on the Property or that the improvements encroach on the lands of another, such encroachments will constitute a title defect. The Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement with written notice to the Seller within calendar days of being notified of said title defect.

  • Topographic Survey 3.1 Notify affected property owners of pending survey.
