This Practice Note sets out practical guidance on the 16 May 2024 amendments to the Joint Committee’s Decision No 1/2023. In particular, it explains how those amendments apply in Northern Ireland, concentrating on the change under which Northern Ireland now benefits from the UK’s tariff rate quotas rather than the EU’s tariff rate quotas.
Introduction
Following Brexit, the EU and the UK concluded the EU‑UK Withdrawal Agreement. Within that accord, the parties adopted the Northern Ireland Protocol. The Protocol was intended to protect the EU’s internal market; however, it gave rise to a variety of challenges for Northern Ireland which, had it remained unchanged, would have become unworkable.

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.

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...
