Issue

On 26 January 2024, the Appellants lodged an application for appeal in the Chancery Division challenging a decision of the Pensions Ombudsman. In the determination concerning Mrs S (CAS-45582-S0J0) dated 12 October 2023, Mrs S complained to the Pensions Ombudsman, in fact, that the Trustees of the Royal Mail Defined Contribution Plan had wrongly exercised their discretion by directing part of a lump-sum death benefit to the deceased member’s girlfriend instead of to the member’s family members. The Pensions Ombudsman dismissed the complaint, concluding that the Trustees had observed proper process and correctly applied the governing rules. For further details, see No grounds to interfere with trustee decision making in death benefit grant (Mrs S, CAS-45582-S0J0)...

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...
