List of documents definition

What does List of documents mean? A list of documents is the schedule a party serves in civil litigation identifying documents in its control that it will disclose and those withheld (for example on grounds of legal professional privilege), so the other side can seek inspection. It typically describes documents, states their location or custodian (including electronic sources), and indicates any documents no longer in the party’s control. Service of the list opens the inspection stage and non-compliance may attract case management sanctions. In England and Wales, outside the disclosure pilot, standard disclosure under the CPR is commonly given by serving Form N265 (List of Documents) with...

Practice notes

$imgtext$

For any construction scheme that relies on external finance, the funder will usually instruct its own team of solicitors to prepare and/or settle the necessary legal paperwork. Among the many agreements to be finalised are the project development and building documents. The funder will also appoint a specialist construction solicitor to carefully scrutinise those construction documents and to negotiate with the borrower’s lawyer wherever it believes amendments are needed. That solicitor will expect the construction suite to safeguard the interests of both the borrower and the lender, in the immediate term (while the works are carried out) and over the longer term (once the works are complete). This Practice Note identifies the construction documents a lender’s lawyer will commonly examine and the issues that typically matter from the lender’s viewpoint.

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...
