What does Appeal mean? An appeal is the process for challenging a decision and asking a higher court, tribunal or internal decision-maker to review it, for example after a disciplinary or dismissal outcome, or a court or tribunal judgment. The term is descriptive; the available routes, time limits and tests are set by statute and procedural rules (e.g., CPR Part 52 in England & Wales), not by a single definition.

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.
