Key definition
Gb definition What does Gb mean? Gb is used in legal practice to express data capacity or speed in telecoms, cloud and IT procurement, and to estimate electronic disclosure volumes. By convention, Gb (lower-case b) means gigabit, equal to 1,000,000,000 bits. This differs from GB (capital B), which means gigabyte, equal to 1,000,000,000 bytes; there are 8 bits in a byte, so 1 GB = 8 Gb. The term is not defined in UK or Irish legislation or case law; it is a technical measurement adopted by contract drafters and industry standards (SI/IEC). For storage, some systems use binary units (gibibyte, GiB = 2^30 bytes), which can...

Practice notes
This Practice Note provides guidance on the obligations imposed on manufacturers, importers and authorised representatives by ecodesign legislation as well as providing details on the statutory right to repair
The Ecodesign for Energy-Related Products Regulations 2010, SI 2010/2617 (as amended) (the ‘2010 Regulations’) prescribe the duties of the relevant parties concerning ecodesign across Great Britain. The Ecodesign for Energy-Related Products and Energy Information Regulations 2021, SI 2021/745 set requirements for particular ERPs and ERP categories, operating as an implementing measure for the purposes of the 2010 Regulations. The 2021 Regulations include:
- definitions identifying which ERPs are within scope,
- energy performance, resource efficiency and other product-specific ecodesign criteria for regulated ERPs,
- the information and technical documentation that responsible persons must provide for those ERPs,
- measurement methodologies and calculations used to determine the relevant data for regulated ERPs,
- verification procedures for post-marketing surveillance for those ERPs, and
- ‘right to repair’ duties applicable to certain products.

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...
