Previews definition

What does Previews mean? In legal practice, previews are advance screenings of a film before the official release date, including press, trade, test or limited paid performances. The term is descriptive rather than defined in legislation or case law, and is typically defined by contract in distribution, exhibition, marketing and financing agreements. Key issues are whether a preview amounts to a public exhibition (triggering classification and licensing considerations), how box office is reported, and what publicity is permitted. Across England & Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, public screenings are generally subject to local authority film classification policies (commonly adopting BBFC ratings) and venue licensing requirements....

Reviewing 2017

Enforcement of arbitral awards

What happened?

Through 2017, questions of recognising and enforcing arbitral awards were largely shaped by two decisions of the UK Supreme Court. The more consequential of the pair was arguably IPCO v NNPC [2017] UKSC 16, where Lord Mance, with the other justices concurring, determined that the court had no power to make an award debtor’s properly arguable resistance to enforcement—under sections 103(2) or 103(3) of the Arbitration Act 1996 (AA 1996)—conditional upon the provision of security...

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...
