package holiday definition

What does package holiday mean? A package holiday is a combination of at least two different types of travel services (for example, transport, accommodation, vehicle hire or other significant tourist services) sold or arranged together for the same trip, which engages the package travel consumer‑protection regime. It is a legislative concept. In Great Britain, “package” is defined and regulated by the Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018 (retained EU law); in Northern Ireland by equivalent 2018 regulations; and in Ireland by the European Union (Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements) Regulations 2019.

Background to the Package Travel Regulations

From 1 July 2018, packages are now covered by the Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018 (2018 Package Travel Regs), SI 2018/634. These provisions gave effect to Directive (EU) 2015/2302 (the Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Directive). Post-Brexit transition or implementation, the 2018 Package Travel Regs continue to apply, with limited changes removing references to EU legal sources. The Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Directive may still usefully guide interpretation of the 2018 Package Travel Regs. For further details and guidance, see Practice Note: Assimilated law. This Practice Note centres squarely on the 2018 Package Travel Regs. The earlier Package Travel, Package Holidays and Package Tours Regulations 1992 (the 1992 Package Travel Regs), SI 1992/3288, took effect on 23 December 1992 to transpose an EU Directive on package travel, package holidays and package tours.

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...
