What does Remuneration mean? Remuneration is the pay an individual receives for work, typically basic salary and, depending on context, variable elements such as bonuses, commission, overtime and allowances. It is a descriptive expression used across employment, company and tax law, with its precise scope set by the relevant statute, contract, policy or scheme rules rather than by a single universal legal definition. In pensions practice—particularly defined benefit schemes—the pension accrued is usually linked to pensionable remuneration (often called pensionable salary or pay).

This Practice Note follows the development of the European Commission’s proposal to amend Regulation (EU) 910/2014 (OJ L 257/73), the EU eIDAS Regulation, to create a framework for a European Digital Identity. It records milestones as the proposal moved forward.
Adopted in 2014, the EU eIDAS Regulation replaced Directive 1999/93/EC, commonly known as the EU e‑Signature Directive.
Regulation (EU) 2024/1183, the European Digital Identity Framework, was published in the Official Journal of the EU on 30 April 2024 and entered into force on 20 May 2024.
It is expected to streamline access to online services; bolster user trust and confidence in digital interactions; spur the digital economy by encouraging innovation and competition; and lessen the risk of identity theft and fraud.
Transitional provisions under the Framework apply until 21 May 2026 and 21 May 2027, setting interim rules during the changeover.

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...
