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...

What is the impact of Brexit on the Gb electricity market (including in relation to EU law applicable to transmission licencing)?

As at 31 January 2020 (Exit day), the UK ceased to be a Member State of the EU. From that date, an implementation period commenced during which, for many purposes, the EU continued to treat the UK as if it were still a Member State. At 11 pm (GMT) on 31 December 2020, the Brexit transition/implementation period established following the UK’s withdrawal from the EU came to an end. At that moment in time (known in UK law as ‘IP completion day’), core transitional measures expired and far‑reaching changes started to take effect across the UK’s legal framework. The European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (EU(W)A 2018) obtained Royal Assent on 26 June 2018...

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...
