Delivery definition

What does Delivery mean? Delivery, in practice, is the seller handing over possession or control of goods to the buyer or the buyer’s agent at the agreed time and place.

What is a CHP project?

Combined heat and power (CHP) is an efficient cogeneration approach that can draw on many different fuels, capturing and making practical use of the heat created during electricity production.

Producing heat and electricity at the same time from a fuel source allows CHP to reach efficiencies beyond those of separate heat generation, for example a gas-fired boiler, and a conventional power station operating separately.

Where both heat and power are required on the same site, CHP can cut energy expenditure, as well as carbon output and air pollution, meaning significantly lower operating costs.

CHP is applicable to many thermal plant types, including energy from waste, biomass with CCUS (BECCS), hydrogen and nuclear; however, most UK installations run on natural gas in practice.

These schemes supply hospitals, university campuses, major industrial facilities and large residential developments...

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...
