What does Privacy notice mean? In practice, a privacy notice is the information a data controller gives to individuals (data subjects) explaining how their personal data will be collected, used and shared.

STOP PRESS: The General Data Protection Regulation, Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (the GDPR) (in force from 25 May 2018) brings major revisions to EU and UK data protection rules and supersedes the Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA 1998) and Directive 95/46/EC (the Data Protection Directive) from that date.

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.
