Key definition
Availability definition What does Availability mean? In asset-based lending, availability is the borrowing headroom a borrower can draw at a given time, calculated by reference to the agreed borrowing base. It is a commercial term used in ABL facility agreements rather than a concept defined by legislation or case law in England & Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland or Ireland. Availability typically equals the sum of advance rates applied to eligible asset classes (commonly receivables and inventory/stock, and sometimes plant and machinery or real estate components) less agreed reserves and less current utilisation, and is always capped by the facility limit.

Practice notes
The main rights that a child has in school are:

- the right to receive care and protection comparable to that a reasonable parent would provide
The former is set out in statute, while the latter stems from common law.

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...
