Application definition

What does Application mean? An application is a procedural request asking a court to make an order, typically during the life of proceedings (an interim/interlocutory application) but sometimes disposing of an issue finally. The concept is descriptive rather than statutorily defined; content and procedure are set by court rules and case law in each jurisdiction. England and Wales: under the Civil Procedure Rules, applications are made by application notice (cpr Part 23), on notice or without notice, supported by evidence (usually a witness statement), and subject to filing fees, service and time limits. Common applications include extensions of time, summary judgment, security...

This Practice Note

This Practice Note assists with identifying the applicable Law before the courts of England and Wales for loss-causing events that took place between 11 January 2009 and 31 DECember 2020, in respect of matters giving rise to damage. Where events fell outside those dates, the UK courts will apply an alternative applicable law regime appropriate to the relevant timeframe. The governing regime turns entirely on the date the event happened in question. For help on the various regimes and how they interrelate, see Practice Note: Applicable law regimes. It also explains when and why Regulation (EC) 864/2007 on the law applicable to non-contractual obligations, Rome II, was introduced. Further, it outlines the situations in which it applies and those in which it does not, as appropriate. In this Practice Note, the Regulation is referred to as Rome II. For guidance on other aspects of Rome II, see Practice Notes: Rome II—the general rule (UK only) and Rome II—specific types of claims (UK only)...

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...
