Retained EU law definition

What does Retained EU law mean? Retained EU law refers in UK legal practice to the EU-derived legislation, rights and case law that were preserved and converted into domestic law when the European Communities Act 1972 was repealed at the end of the Brexit transition (31 December 2020). It is a statutory term created by the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, as amended by the European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Act 2020.

ARCHIVED

This case tracker is archived and no longer maintained. It sets out a list of notable pensions judgments from 2020, grouped by topic. The entries are ordered by date and can be navigated via the Table of Contents on the left of the page.

This Practice Note includes references to case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union. Broadly, EU judgments issued on or before 31 December 2020 remain binding on UK courts and tribunals (even if the EU courts later depart from them) until the UK courts use their powers to diverge. For the most part, EU case law made after that date is not binding on the UK, although UK courts and tribunals may continue to have regard to relevant EU judgments. For more detailed information on the treatment of EU case law, see Practice Note: Retained and assimilated case law.

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...
