Notifiable events definition

What does Notifiable events mean? In pensions practice, notifiable events are developments that trustees or sponsoring employers must tell the pensions regulator (TPR) about promptly because they may materially affect an occupational pension scheme or the employer covenant. The duty is set out in section 69 of the Pensions Act 2004 and the Notifiable Events Regulations 2005 (with parallel Northern Ireland provisions), and requires written notification to TPR as soon as reasonably practicable when a prescribed event occurs or a relevant decision is taken, typically via TPR’s online portal. The prescribed events are defined in legislation and explained in TPR guidance. They cover a set...

FORTHCOMING DEVELOPMENT :

On 8 September 2021, the department for work and pensions (DWP) issued a consultation on draft regulations that would (i) revise the notifiable events within the primary notifiable events regime (section 69, Pensions Act 2004 (PA 2004)), and (ii) set out the categories of events to be caught by the secondary notifiable events regime (section 69A, PA 2004).

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...
