Monitoring definition

What does Monitoring mean? Monitoring, in radiological protection practice, is the measurement of ionising radiation levels, airborne concentrations of radionuclides, surface contamination and other quantities of radioactive material, and the use of those results to evaluate potential exposures and doses. The term is used and, in substance, defined in radiation protection legislation (including the Ionising Radiations Regulations 2017 in Great Britain, the Ionising Radiations Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2017, and Ireland’s regulations implementing the Basic Safety Standards Directive).

Nigeria: Foreign Investment Regime - Registration, Sectoral and Ownership Restrictions, Environmental and Local Content Requirements, and Interaction with Merger Control

Published by a LexisNexis Competition expert

Practice notes

1. What is the applicable legislation?

There is no single, stand‑alone foreign investment statute that creates an all-encompassing foreign direct investment (FDI) framework in Nigeria. Rather, the rules that apply to FDI sit across multiple enactments. The core provisions appear in: the Nigeria Investment Promotion Commission Act 1995 (NIPCA 1995); the Foreign Exchange (Monitoring and Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1995, Chapter F34; the Companies and Allies Matters Act 2020 (CAMA 2020); the Immigration Act 2015; the National Office for Technology Acquisition and Promotion Act 1979; and the Investment and Securities Act 2025 (ISA 2025). In addition, subject to the state from which capital is deployed, multinational and bilateral investment treaties can be relevant. The latest adjustments to Nigeria’s FDI landscape concerned revisions to the procedures of the Nigerian Investment Promotion Commission (Investment Commission) rolled out in 2023. Those changes are aimed at simplifying registration for overseas investors while improving openness and effectiveness overall.

2. Which government or other body (or bodies) reviews foreign Investments?

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...
