Previews definition

What does Previews mean? In legal practice, previews are advance screenings of a film before the official release date, including press, trade, test or limited paid performances.

Key issues are whether a preview amounts to a public exhibition (triggering classification and licensing considerations), how box office is reported, and what publicity is permitted.

Reviewing 2017 Employment tribunals

What happened?

On 26 July 2017, the employment law landscape shifted markedly when the Supreme Court, in R (on the application of Unison) v Lord Chancellor [2017] IRLR 911, ruled that the Employment Tribunals and the Employment Appeal Tribunal Fees Order 2013 (SI 2013/1893), in force since 29 July 2013, was unlawful ab initio (that is, from the outset). The court found the Fees Order:

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...
