Where the EU has jurisdiction, proceedings 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 to a large extent from EEA data protection frameworks and, as a result, generally rest on comparable principles, although some provisions differ slightly in detail.

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.
