What does CCUS mean? CCUS (carbon capture, utilisation and storage) describes projects and regulatory frameworks for capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from power generation and industrial processes, transporting it (by pipeline, ship or road tanker) and either using it in industry (for example in soft drinks manufacture or, where permitted, enhanced oil recovery) or permanently storing it in geological formations.

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.
