What does Track mean? In civil litigation, a track is the procedural route the court uses to manage a claim proportionately, determining timetable, evidence, trial length and recoverable costs. In England and Wales, “track” is a defined case‑management concept under the Civil Procedure rules (CPR Part 26). Defended claims are allocated—following the Directions Questionnaire and having regard to value, complexity, importance, number of parties, expert evidence and trial length—to one of four tracks: small claims, fast track, intermediate track and multi‑track. Allocation (and re‑allocation) has practical consequences for disclosure, expert evidence, case management directions, trial format and the applicable costs regime,...

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...
