What does Advertising mean? Advertising, in legal practice, describes any communication by a trader intended to promote the supply or transfer of products (goods, services, digital content). Across England & Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, legislation implementing the EU regime on misleading and comparative advertising (notably the Business Protection from Misleading Marketing Regulations 2008) defines advertising broadly as any form of representation made in connection with a trade, business, craft or profession to promote the supply of goods or services, including immovable property, rights and obligations.

On 19 June 2025, the data (use and Access) Bill secured Royal Assent, becoming the Data (Use and Access) act 2025 (DUAA 2025), with parts commencing that day. Specific DUAA 2025 provisions, addressing matters such as answering data subject access requests and conferring powers to make supplementary regulations, took effect immediately on 19 June 2025. Other measures, covering notices from the Information Commissioner and certain facets of law enforcement processing, commenced on 19 August 2025 (two months after Royal Assent).

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...
