What does Brexit mean? Brexit is the practical shorthand in legal drafting and advice for the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union and the legal, regulatory and trading changes flowing from it. It covers the UK’s cessation of EU membership on exit day (31 January 2020) and the cessation of the EEA Agreement’s application, the end of the implementation/transition period on IP completion day (31 December 2020), and the commencement, expiry or variation of post‑withdrawal trading and regulatory arrangements, including the UK‑EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement, the Windsor Framework (amending the Northern Ireland Protocol), and UK agreements with third countries...

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...
