Key definition

CPR definition

What does CPR mean? In civil litigation practice, CPR refers to the civil procedure rules governing procedure in the High Court and County Court of England and Wales. Read with their Practice Directions, the CPR set out how claims are issued and served, case management, disclosure, evidence, trials, appeals, enforcement and costs, including detailed assessment in the Senior Courts Costs Office (scco). The rules are made under the Civil Procedure Act 1997 by the Civil Procedure Rule Committee; “CPR” is practitioner shorthand rather than a defined statutory term. The CPR and Practice Directions are published on the Ministry of Justice website...

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...
