Context

Under the European Green Deal, the EU has outlined bold goals to cut its greenhouse gas emissions steadily each year up to and beyond 2030, with the ultimate objective of reaching net zero emissions by 2050. Regulation (EU) 2021/1119 of 30 June 2021 (the EU Climate Regulation) sets a legally binding and enforceable duty on the EU to deliver a 55% drop in carbon emissions from 1990 levels by 2030, and to attain full carbon neutrality by 2050. The European Commission estimates that producing and using energy is directly responsible for over 75% of the EU’s greenhouse gas output. Rapid, far-reaching decarbonisation of the energy system is therefore essential to meeting both the 2030 and 2050 emissions goals respectively. To this end, the EU is designing and applying a comprehensive legal and policy framework for a climate-neutral, ‘clean’ energy system, centred on renewable energy and renewable hydrogen, together with stronger, improved energy efficiency.

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...
