Arbitration rules definition

Practice notes

This Practice Note

This Practice Note outlines the narrow bases on which a party to international arbitration may seek the correction, review or interpretation of an award from either the arbitral tribunal or the administering institution, under institutional Rules including:

International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC)
London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA)
Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (HKIAC)
Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC)
Dubai International Arbitration Centre (DIAC)
International Centre for Dispute Resolution (ICDR)
United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) Arbitration rules

It also considers whether, under these frameworks, parties may challenge or appeal arbitral awards before tribunals or institutions, where applicable, and concludes that such avenues are generally unavailable within the institutional process and must instead be pursued before the courts at the seat of arbitration...

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...
