The proliferation of battery‑powered electric vehicles will render this market strategically important at a global scale. On this footing, the Commission set out proposals for substantial changes to the batteries framework, largely created by Directive 2006/66/EC (the Batteries Directive), within the EU’s 2020 Circular Economy Action Plan.

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.
