CDM co-ordinator definition

What does CDM co-ordinator mean? A CDM co-ordinator was the appointed health and safety adviser for the pre‑construction phase under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007 (SI 2007/320). Created and defined by the 2007 regime, the role involved advising and assisting the client to discharge CDM duties, co‑ordinating design risk management, ensuring designers complied with their duties, collating pre‑construction information, notifying the HSE (F10), and preparing or updating the health and safety file.

The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015, SI 2015/51 (CDM 2015) extend to projects that began after commencement on 6 April 2015, and equally to schemes already under way when CDM 2015 commenced. This Practice Note considers how CDM 2015 operated for projects started before 6 April 2015 and, as a result, fell within the transitional provisions contained in CDM 2015. For broader information on CDM 2015, see Practice Note: Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015.

All remaining provisions in CDM 2015 required compliance from 6 April 2015 with no comparable allowance. Duty holders were free to implement CDM 2015 immediately, even where the transitional scheme would otherwise have applied.

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...
