Enlargement definition

What does Enlargement mean? EU enlargement describes the admission of new member States to the European Union through accession, thereby extending the scope of EU law, institutions and policies.

Published by a LexisNexis PI & Clinical Negligence expert

Practice notes

Definition

Guidance for doctors who provide cosmetic interventions, issued by the General Medical Council (GMC) in 2016 and revised in December 2024, defines cosmetic interventions as any procedure, treatment or intervention undertaken chiefly to alter some aspect of a patient’s physical appearance.

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...
