In pensions practice, members are the individuals who hold, or will hold, benefits under an occupational pension scheme—whether still accruing benefits, having left service with preserved benefits, receiving a pension, or holding rights created by pension sharing/adjustment orders. In the UK, the term is defined in the Pensions Act 1995, s 124 to include active, deferred, pensioner and pension credit members. Equivalent provisions apply in Northern Ireland.

Practice notes

ARCHIVED :

This Practice Note is no longer maintained as it addressed the implementation of EU free movement law in the UK before IP completion day. On that day, the UK’s domestic legislation giving effect to EU free movement was revoked, subject to defined savings and modifications. For more detail, including those savings and the treatment of CJEU case law, see Practice Note: Brexit and the end of EU free movement law in the UK.

The Practice Note is kept in archived form for historical reference, as EU law previously applied in the UK can still be relevant in certain limited circumstances. For historic versions of the Immigration (European Economic Area) Regulations 2016, SI 2016/1052, including the iteration immediately before revocation, see Legislation.gov.uk. For continuing developments in EU free movement law within EU Member States, see: Immigration, employment & share incentives (EU Law)—overview.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The accession period for Bulgaria and Romania ended on 31 December 2013...

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...
