Disputes definition What does Disputes mean? In legal practice, disputes are disagreements giving rise to potential legal rights and remedies between parties, addressed through dispute resolution including litigation, arbitration and ADR such as mediation and negotiation. The term is descriptive rather than a defined statutory concept; the substantive rights and procedures arise from statute and common law. Typical features include identification of the cause of action, applicable limitation periods, choice of jurisdiction and forum, compliance with pre-action protocols or pre-action correspondence, disclosure/discovery, evidence, settlement, costs and enforcement. Usage is broadly consistent across England & Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Ireland, though civil procedure differs: CPR in England...

From Exit day, 31 January 2020, the UK stopped being an EU Member State. However, under the transitional arrangements provided for by the Withdrawal agreement, an implementation period (IP) ran until 31 December 2020, referred to as ‘IP completion day’. During that time, for many purposes the EU continued to treat the UK as if it were a Member State, notwithstanding its changed status...
Although the UK no longer took part in the EU’s political institutions and governance structures, it remained bound to adhere to its obligations under EU law—including treaties, legislation, principles and international agreements—and was required to submit to the continuing jurisdiction of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU or ECJ). For guidance on whether CJEU judgments bind UK courts, see the section entitled ‘Assimilated case law’ in Practice Note: Assimilated law...

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...
