Key definition
Supply definition What does Supply mean? Supply describes the provision of goods, services or rights by one party to another for consideration. In UK VAT law it is a defined term: Value Added Tax Act 1994, s.5(2)(a) states that “supply includes all forms of supply”, and s.5 distinguishes between a supply of goods and a supply of services, with deeming rules (such as self-supplies). In Ireland, the Value-Added Tax Consolidation Act 2010 similarly defines supply of goods and supply of services on a broad basis. The concept is central to VAT, determining whether a transaction is taxable, the place and time of supply (tax point), and...

It addresses the supply of goods and Services Act 1982 (SGSA 1982), Equality Act 2010 (EqA 2010), Bribery Act 2010 (BA 2010), Criminal Finances Act 2017 (CFA 2017), Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023 (ECCTA 2023), Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 (TUPE), SI 2006/246, Modern Slavery Act 2015 (MSA 2015), data protection legislation and statutory restrictions on ipso facto clauses, insofar as these bear upon the supply of services. The Practice Note also weighs the use of standard terms and conditions against bespoke agreements when documenting supply of services transactions. It further gives a synopsis of the various forms of contract used for supplying services, together with some of the principal clauses found in those agreements.

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...
