Engagement definition

What does Engagement mean? Engagement describes the ongoing dialogue and other stewardship activities by asset managers and institutional investors with their investee companies to monitor performance and governance, raise concerns and seek change. It includes routine meetings with boards and management, written correspondence, participation in consultations, proxy voting, and escalation (for example, collaborative engagement, public statements, filing or co‑filing resolutions, or requisitioning meetings) where issues persist. The term is descriptive rather than a defined legal term, but it is embedded in regulation and codes.

Practice notes

Re-Engagement

This Practice Note considers when re‑engagement will be directed as a remedy under section 112 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 (ERA 1996) after a finding of Unfair dismissal. It addresses the tribunal’s obligation to ask the employee if re‑engagement is sought and, if so, to consider making an order for re‑engagement. The Note then explores the situations in which re‑engagement may be ordered, the required contents and effect of a re‑engagement order, and how arrears of pay and other benefits are calculated. It explains that a second‑stage re‑engagement hearing will take place where the order has not been complied with, whether partially or at all, including calculation of an additional award under ERA 1996, s 117 if the tribunal finds it was practicable for the employer to comply with the re‑engagement order. Re‑engagement is one of the orders a tribunal may make under ERA 1996, s 112 following a finding of unfair dismissal. After such a finding, the tribunal must explain to the employee the Availability of reinstatement and re‑engagement orders and the circumstances in which they may be made.

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...
