What does Access mean? In electronic communications practice, access describes one provider making its network facilities or services available to another, on defined terms, on an exclusive or non‑exclusive basis, so the latter can supply electronic communications services, including where those inputs are used to deliver information society services or broadcast content.

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.
