Key definition

Per capita definition

What does Per capita mean? Per capita describes an equal division of a gift among all individual beneficiaries within a defined class who are alive at the distribution date (for example, “to my grandchildren, per capita”). Each living member takes one equal share; a predeceasing member’s share does not pass to their issue unless the instrument provides for substitution or a statutory anti‑lapse rule applies. This contrasts with per stirpes (by branch), where descendants take through their parent’s line. The expression is a descriptive Latin term used in wills, trusts and succession practice, and in case law, rather than one generally defined by statute. It is...

Montreal Protocol amendments on ozone-depleting substances and HFCs: schedules, compliance, licensing and trade controls, with EU and UK implementation (including post-Brexit assimilated law)

Published by a LexisNexis Environment expert

Practice notes

The Montreal Protocol seeks to cut the production and use of ozone‑depleting substances (ODSs) to protect the ozone layer. The original Protocol was agreed on 16 September 1987 and came into force on 1 January 1989. See Practice Note: Montreal Protocol 1987 (substances that deplete the ozone layer)—snapshot. It has since been revised a number of times, with five principal amendments:

London Amendment 1990
Copenhagen Amendment 1992
Montreal Amendment 1997
Beijing Amendment 1999
Kigali Amendment 2016

Article 5 countries

An Article 5 country is a developing nation whose consumption of the Annex A controlled substances is below 0.3 kilograms Per capita up until 1999.

Summary of the current control measures

A summary of the current control measures, taking account of all the Amendments, is available on the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) Ozone website.

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...
