Registered name definition

What does Registered name mean? The official name a company uses in legal and commercial dealings, being the exact corporate name recorded on the public register. In England & Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland this is the name on the register kept by the Registrar of Companies at Companies House; in Ireland it is the name on the Companies Registration Office (CRO) register. The term is used in legislation (notably the Companies Act 2006 (UK) and the Companies Act 2014 (Ireland)) and is often referred to as the company name.

Domain name transfers (.com and other gTLDs): inter-Registrar and registrant transfers, step-by-step process, risks, and forthcoming ICANN Transfer Policy changes

Published by a LexisNexis TMT expert

Practice notes

FORTHCOMING CHANGE:

This Practice Note addresses the transfer of .com and other generic Top Level Domain (gTLD) registrations and accompanies Precedent: gTLD domain name transfer agreement (.com). It mirrors the Transfer Policy presently in effect, which had to be introduced by August 2025. Yet, in April 2025, after a review of the Transfer Policy, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) opened consultation on a number of proposed amendments that, among other things and measures, will replace the use of AuthInfo codes and abolish the 60-day transfer lock, both of which are outlined below. This Practice Note will be revised as and when the Transfer Policy is revised. Domain names consist of multiple elements, including the domain ending, also known as the top-level domain (TLD). TLDs occupy the highest tier of the domain name system (DNS). A DNS functions much like a telephone directory for the internet, converting domain names into IP addresses and enabling internet users to reach websites and other online resources. The role of a domain suffix is to streamline the categorisation of all registered addresses within the DNS. There are different categories of TLD, including country-specific domains.

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...
