Key definition

Sector definition

What does Sector mean? In legal practice, sector describes a category of economic activity or group of undertakings with shared products, services or regulation (for example energy, telecommunications, financial services or media), used to frame regulatory, contractual and transactional analysis. The term is generally descriptive rather than a single defined legal term, but specific statutes define sectors for particular purposes: in the UK, anti-money laundering law refers to the “regulated sector”, public procurement law identifies the “utilities sectors”, and national security screening specifies “sensitive sectors” for notifiable acquisitions; Irish legislation uses analogous concepts (for example “designated persons” for AML and sector-specific procurement directives).

Practice notes

The Creative Worker route

The Creative Worker route allows individuals in the creative Sector to take up temporary work or performances in the UK. To use this pathway, an applicant must hold Sponsorship from a Home Office-approved sponsor specific to this route, with the LiST of approved sponsors available on GOV.UK. Applications for permission to enter (including under the ‘Creative Worker concession’), electronic travel authorisation where applicable, Entry clearance, and permission to stay may only be submitted after the sponsor has assigned the migrant a Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS); both sponsor and worker should factor these requirements in from the very start. For more guidance, see Practice Note: Sponsoring a Creative Worker. Under the pre‑Brexit Points-Based System, up to 1 December 2020, creative workers and sportspersons coming for short-term stays fell within Tier 5 (Creative and Sporting). Between 1 December 2020 and 11 October 2021, this was streamlined and labelled T5 Creative or Sporting Worker.

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...
