University definition

What does University mean? In legal practice, “university” describes a higher education institution delivering degree-level teaching and research and holding (or seeking) degree‑awarding powers and, in the UK, university title. The term is descriptive across the UK rather than uniformly defined, though its status and powers are legislated: in England and Wales principally the Further and Higher Education Act 1992 and the Higher Education and Research Act 2017 (with the Office for Students overseeing degree‑awarding powers and university title); in Scotland and Northern Ireland universities are usually established by Royal Charter or statute; in Ireland the Universities Act 1997 defines universities and their governance....

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...
