A specialty is a written contract that has been executed under seal and delivered and is given as security for the payment of a specifically indicated debt.
A rather archaic expression, of some interest in that it is referred to in the Limitations Act 1980. The Limitation period for a specialty is 12 years, not the usual 6.
And the difference between a specialty and a deed is?
A deed is not necessarily a contract, and is not supported by consideration. An individual can create binding obligations upon herself by deed without there even being a counterparty and, therefore, without consideration. It has to be signed, sealed and delivered though. A specialty is type of contract; it is supported by consideration, but like a deed is signed, sealed and delivered.
The two do overlap, though.
Odd spot
The fact that specialties benefit from a longer limitation period is just one good reason a repackaging programme includes a separate covenant to pay to the security trustee.
