Suspension order meaning

On 7 April 2026, Dyson secured an interim injunction against Chinese rival Dreame after the UPC tribunal held that the ‘Dazzle’ hair styler infringed Dyson’s patent, compelling a suspension of sales throughout all UPC Member States and Spain. The Hamburg Local Division explained that including Spain (despite it not being a UPC Member State) was warranted because Dreame’s EU-based importer was actively putting the goods on the Spanish market, thereby creating a sufficiently close jurisdictional connection to hear the claims together under EU jurisdictional rules. The panel, chaired by Sabine Klepsch, declined to stretch the order to the UK. Citing the UK–EU Windsor Framework, under which certain EU product safety requirements still apply in Northern Ireland and oblige non‑EU manufacturers to appoint an EU-based representative to place goods there, Dyson argued this regulatory nexus tied UK sales to the EU and could ground UPC jurisdiction. The judges disagreed, concluding those provisions are principally intended to smooth trade between Northern Ireland and the EU, not to create an adequate legal link...

After unveiling a pause to tariff hikes on Truth Social, President Donald Trump told reporters at the White House that he believes China wants to reach an agreement but is unsure how to proceed (Pool via AP). On the platform, he said more than 75 nations had contacted US government officials to explore talks on tariff and non-tariff barriers, prompting him to implement a 90-day suspension of the higher reciprocal rates. Those increases had begun at 12:01am on Wednesday 9 April 2025... However, he noted the 10% global baseline levy on imports from all countries will remain in effect during the suspension. The executive order updating the reciprocal tariffs was not issued immediately. In his social media post, Trump added that increased tariff rates on China would apply at once, citing what he described as a lack of respect China has shown to the world’s markets. In response to the president’s reciprocal tariffs, China announced last week that it would introduce countermeasures and pursue a legal case at the...

THIS PRACTICE NOTE APPLIES TO TRUST-BASED OCCUPATIONAL PENSION SCHEMES This Practice Note considers the Pensions Regulator’s (the Regulator’s) powers to suspend or prohibit trustees of occupational pension schemes, and the statutory bases on which an individual or other legal person can be disqualified from acting as a trustee of an occupational pension scheme. Suspension and prohibition orders—reserved regulatory functions of the Regulator The Regulator’s powers to suspend or prohibit trustees of occupational pension schemes are: reserved regulatory functions exercised by the Regulator’s Determinations Panel and therefore subject to the standard procedure or, in special circumstances, the special procedure As part of the standard procedure, the Regulator must notify those persons who appear to be directly affected by a suspension or prohibition order that such an order is to be made. This will ordinarily include the continuing trustees of the relevant scheme. For further information on the Determinations Panel’s reserved regulatory functions, and on the standard and special procedures, see Practice...

Interim remedies are available in the arbitral proceeding in Macau Interim remedies, also known as interim measures, are temporary orders that a court or arbitral tribunal may issue before or during a dispute resolution process. They are separate from final remedies, which typically form part of a final judgment, order, or arbitral award that settles the dispute in full. These interim measures are designed to preserve the parties’ rights and interests until the case is finally resolved by the court or tribunal. At the same time, they may function as stand-alone measures as well. An anti-suit injunction is one such measure, preventing a party from commencing or continuing legal proceedings in a given forum. That latter measure is not provided for by Macau arbitration law currently. Macau published a new arbitration law on 5 November 2019, Law No. 19/2019, which entered into force on 4 May 2020. The new law replaces Decree-Law 29/96/M (for domestic arbitrations) and Decree-Law 55/98/M (for international commercial arbitrations) with a single statute that...

To compel compliance with an order directing the handover or transfer of identified goods, a writ of delivery (High Court) or a warrant of delivery (Family Court or County Court) can be utilised for enforcement. A writ of delivery is addressed to a High Court enforcement officer; a warrant of delivery is issued to a County Court bailiff. If a party holds a judgment or order requiring delivery of goods and the respondent has not complied, enforcement may proceed by writ or warrant of delivery pursuant to the Civil Procedure Rules 1998 (CPR), SI 1998/3132, r 83.14 (High Court) or CPR 83.23–83.25 (Family Court) (as applied by the Family Procedure Rules 2010 (FPR 2010), SI 2010/2955, 33.1(2)), save where (for the Family Court) another rule or Act provides otherwise. Such a writ or warrant empowers the appropriate enforcement officer to secure delivery by seizing the specified items from the person in default of the order and handing them over to the party entitled to receive them. The order may alternatively...
