Ireland: NDA Drafting Checklist for Disclosing Parties-Purpose, Confidential Information, Security/AI, Data Protection, IPRs, Indemnities, Termination and Execution

Published by a Lexis+ Ireland - Commercial expert

Checklists

Checklist

Use this Checklist when preparing a confidentiality agreement (also called a non-disclosure agreement or NDA) in which you are the party sharing confidential information under that agreement. Before drafting, consider:

what material the business intends to reveal and whether it is genuinely confidential;
why the business plans to disclose that information;
whether the business will also receive confidential information from the other party; and
to whom the business will disclose that information.

For further information, see Precedent: Ireland-Confidentiality agreement-mutual.

Parties

☐ Confirm the parties to the agreement. Consider which individuals and/or entities should be party to the agreement.

What information does the business want to disclose?

☐ Confirm how confidential information will be defined. Consider:

whether a general definition or a list-based approach is appropriate;
whether any confidential information belonging to group companies will be disclosed;
whether any confidential information will be disclosed to group companies; and
whether authorised representatives of the contracting parties will be disclosing or receiving information.

The third column can be used to record observations or comments as the Checklist is worked through.

Tomlin orders in England and Wales: CPR guidance on drafting, confidentiality, approval, variation, enforcement, limitation, CCA issues, court-specific requirements, sample wording and precedents

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...
