Exit day definition

What does Exit day mean? In UK Brexit practice, exit day is the domestic law moment when the UK left the EU. It is the statutory date and time fixed (after earlier extensions) as 31 January 2020 at 11:00 pm UK time. The term is defined in legislation: section 20 of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (EUWA 2018), amended by regulations to reflect Article 50 extensions before being set to the above time. Exit day operated as a key legal trigger, including the repeal of the European Communities Act 1972 (subject to savings during the implementation period), commencement of powers to amend retained EU law,...

UK GDPR compensation claims under Article 82 and DPA 2018: scope, damage, defendants, procedure, group actions, cross-border, pleadings and ADR—practical guidance post-DUAA 2025

Published by a LexisNexis Dispute Resolution expert

Practice notes

This Practice Note provides guidance on pursuing a ‘UK GDPR claim’.

It does so by referring to the United Kingdom General Data Protection Regulation, Assimilated Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (UK GDPR), as revised by the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 (DUAA 2025), together with the Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA 2018). Matters falling within the EU are governed by the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation, Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (EU GDPR). UK data protection rules—most notably Assimilated Regulation (EU) 2016/679, UK GDPR—originate largely from EEA regimes and consequently rest on comparable foundations, albeit with some granular divergences. In the UK, “assimilated law” denotes retained EU law (REUL) that continued post‑2023, including the UK GDPR. Re‑labelling REUL (and related expressions) as assimilated law signalled an alteration in its standing and handling under UK law, meaning it is ordinarily construed by reference to standard domestic legal principles. With effect from 1 January 2024, REUL became “assimilated” into domestic law because it was, in general, relieved of EU‑derived interpretative effects (for example, supremacy of EU law, directly...

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...
