Authorisation definition

What does Authorisation mean? In practice, authorisation is formal permission from a competent authority to carry out a regulated activity or to handle specified assets or substances. It is usually evidenced by a licence, permit, consent or approval issued under primary or secondary legislation, typically subject to conditions, time limits and the possibility of variation or revocation. The term is descriptive and used across multiple legal contexts, with sector‑specific legislation defining when and how authorisation is required (for example, financial services authorisation, marketing authorisation for medicines, and chemicals authorisation under REACH). Radioactive substances/waste: Historically, the Radioactive Substances Act 1993 required an “authorisation”...

Archived: UK exemptions from worker authorisation for Croatian nationals (until 30 June 2018): categories, definitions, documentation, fees and appeals

Published by a LexisNexis Immigration expert

Practice notes

IMPORTANT NOTICE : THIS PRACTICE NOTE HAS NOW BEEN ARCHIVED.

This note reflects the law as at 30 June 2018. From 1 July 2018, restrictions on UK labour market access for Croatian nationals were removed, and therefore worker Authorisation Requirements and any exemptions ceased to apply from that date.

Croatia became a member of the EU on 1 July 2013. The Treaty of Accession of Croatia 2011 allowed the UK to limit Croatian nationals’ access to the labour market for up to seven years from accession, so long as the conditions were no more restrictive than those in force at the date the treaty was signed (9 December 2011). Moreover, if the UK later brought in relevant measures for non-EEA nationals that were more favourable than those at the signature date, these had to be extended to Croatian nationals. The UK elected to apply labour market restrictions, with the regime detailed in the Accession of Croatia (Immigration and Worker Authorisation) Regulations, SI 2013/1460 (the Croatian Worker Authorisation Regs 2013)...

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...
