Key definition
LNG definition

What does LNG mean? In energy, shipping and infrastructure practice, LNG means natural gas liquefied for storage and marine transport. It is processed gas, primarily methane with small amounts of other hydrocarbons and inert gases, cooled to about −162°C to form a liquid at or near atmospheric pressure. It is shipped by LNG carriers to import terminals for storage and regasification into the gas grid, or supplied as LNG to end users. The term is descriptive rather than a single statutory definition in the UK or Ireland. Where precision is needed, contracts and technical specifications define LNG by composition and quality parameters (e.g. heating...

Brexit impact

At 11 pm (GMT) on 31 December 2020, the transition/Implementation period that followed the UK’s withdrawal from the EU concluded. In UK law this moment is called ‘IP completion day’. From that point, key transitional provisions ended and substantial changes started to apply across the UK’s legal framework. Any changes relevant to this content are set out below.

On IP completion day, the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (EU(W)A 2018) introduced a distinct category of domestic UK law—retained EU Law (REUL)—consisting of EU-derived rights and legislation preserved in the UK after Brexit.

On 29 June 2023, the Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Act 2023 (REUL(RR)A 2023) received Royal Assent. REUL(RR)A 2023 alters the treatment of REUL by:

  • revoking substantial amounts of REUL from 31 December 2023
  • re-labelling REUL as ‘assimilated law’ from 1 January 2024
  • creating new powers in relation to assimilated law

The re-categorisation of REUL (and related terms) to assimilated law signals a shift in its status and treatment within UK law, such that it is, in general, to be interpreted according to ordinary domestic law and principles...

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...
