Export Control definition

What does Export Control mean? Export control describes the legal regime governing the export, re-export, transfer and transit (including intangible disclosures), brokering and technical assistance for controlled goods, software, information and technology, covering military items, dual-use items and nuclear-related materials, from the UK or Ireland to another state.

In England & Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, the principal instruments include the Export Control Act 2002 and the Export Control Order 2008, supplemented by the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018 and UK strategic export control lists.

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...
