An end-of-life vehicle (ELV) is a vehicle treated as waste within the sense of Article 3(1) of the Waste Framework Directive 2008/98/EC (WFD 2008), interpreted in conjunction with Articles 5 and 6 of that same Directive. In England and Wales, the statutory concept of waste is set out in section 75 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990, which in turn refers to this definition in WFD 2008. WFD 2008 also states that waste is ‘any substance or object which the holder discards or intends or is required to discard’.

This Practice Note This Practice Note reviews mechanisms used in settling litigation. A Tomlin order consists of a consent order paired with a schedule. It operates to stay proceedings on terms that have been agreed. The provisions contained in the schedule may remain confidential. This Practice Note describes the scope of confidentiality attaching to the schedule and sets out how it differs from a standard consent order. Sample wording for a Tomlin order is included, alongside links to precedents, as well as guidance on court approval. It also addresses varying, setting aside and enforcing a Tomlin order, including the considerations the court will take into account when handling applications for each. Further guidance is provided on interpreting and applying the relevant provisions of the CPR; however, some courts and divisions impose very specific requirements for both drafting and approval, and for approaching the schedule and confidentiality issues. Accordingly, you must consider the particular rules and court guide provisions in the forum where your claim is proceeding when drawing up the Tomlin order...
