Practice notes

FORTHCOMING DEVELOPMENT :

The Pensions (Extension of automatic enrolment) (No. 2) Bill received Royal Assent on 18 September 2023 as the Pensions (Extension of Automatic Enrolment) Act 2023 (the Act), and was published on 19 September 2023. The Act grants the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions powers to make regulations to:

reduce the lower age threshold at which otherwise eligible employees must be automatically enrolled and re‑enrolled by their employers into a pension scheme;
remove the Lower Earnings Limit from the qualifying earnings band so that contributions are calculated from the first pound earned; and
amend the requirements for the annual review of the qualifying earnings band.

Adjustments to automatic enrolment eligibility will follow a consultation on the detailed approach and timing for implementation. The date on which section 1 of the Act comes into force is specified to be “on such day or days as the Secretary of State may by regulations appoint”.

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...
