Listing Rules definition

What does Listing Rules mean? In legal practice, Listing rules means the FCA’s Listing Rules (LR) in the FCA Handbook, which govern admission of securities to the UK Official List and the continuing obligations of issuers once listed. Made under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, they are binding regulatory rules (rather than a statutory definition) enforced by the financial conduct authority. Key features include: eligibility and listing principles; premium and standard listing segments; the sponsor regime for premium listings; class tests for significant transactions; related party transaction rules; requirements for shareholder approval, circulars and announcements; and provisions on suspension and cancellation.

Electronic and website communications by UK companies under the Companies Act 2006: Schedule 5 requirements, consent, deemed delivery, hard copy rights, and interaction with UK Listing Rules and DTRs

Published by a LexisNexis Corporate expert

Practice notes

If any provision in the Companies Acts permits or obliges a body corporate to send or provide documents or information (however phrased), that body corporate must follow sections 1144–1148 and Schedule 5 of the Companies Act 2006 (CA 2006), which set out the company communications regime. The Companies Acts are defined in CA 2006, s 2 and embrace CA 2006 itself, save for ss 1182–1283. For these communications rules, references to a document also cover a summons, notice, order, any other legal process, or a register. The communications provisions yield to requirements imposed, or contrary provision made, by or under any enactment (notably, CA 2006, Pt 35 on documents or information to be sent or supplied to Companies House). Nonetheless, a provision is not to be treated as inconsistent with the communications provisions merely because it expressly permits a document or information to be sent or supplied in hard copy, in electronic form, or via a 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...
