Registers definition

What does Registers mean? In legal practice, “Registers” refers to the statutory public registers kept by environmental regulators that record prescribed information such as environmental permits and licences, consents, waste carrier registrations, enforcement notices, convictions, monitoring data and certain site-specific determinations, made available for public inspection. The term is descriptive rather than a single defined concept; duties to establish and maintain particular registers arise under specific legislation and regulatory regimes (for example, the environmental permitting regime in England and Wales, pollution prevention and control regimes in Scotland and Northern Ireland, and EPA/Waste Management legislation in Ireland).

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...
