ACT definition

What does ACT mean? In corporate and banking practice, ACT usually refers to the Association of Corporate Treasurers, the UK-based professional body for corporate treasury professionals, rather than a statutory “Act”. It is not defined in legislation or case law; the acronym is market terminology used in transaction documents and governance materials. The Association of Corporate Treasurers promotes professional standards in liquidity management, funding, cash and risk management, foreign exchange and derivatives. It publishes guidance and a code of ethics and awards recognised qualifications (including AMCT and FCT). In legal contexts, references to “ACT-qualified” personnel or to ACT good practice may appear in treasury policies,...

Practice notes

This PrACTice Note

This Practice Note explains the administrative removal regime as amended by the Immigration Act 2014, identifying who is and is not subject to removal and the destinations to which removal may occur. It also sets out the considerations to be weighed when deciding on removal and the extra Safeguards that apply in family situations. Further amendments to removal Notices were introduced by the Nationality and Borders Act 2022 (NBA 2022), although not all provisions are currently in force. For additional context, see News Analysis: Nationality and Borders Act 2022—summary for non-asylum practitioners. From 20 November 2023, the process and deadlines for removal notices have been put on a statutory footing, ordinarily requiring a five-working day notice period, which remains effective for 21 days where a first removal attempt fails for reasons beyond the Home Office’s control (see below). As enacted, NBA 2022 also anticipates a system of ‘priority removal notices’ (PRNs), intended to limit the scope for delaying removals through sequential or unmeritorious claims, appeals or legal action, but these PRN provisions have not commenced at the time of writing. The Illegal Migration Act...

Tomlin orders in England and Wales: CPR guidance on drafting, confidentiality, approval, variation, enforcement, limitation, CCA issues, court-specific requirements, sample wording and precedents

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...
