The current Administration of the agricultural subsidy schemes in Scotland

The management of Scotland’s farm subsidy programmes is run by the Scottish Government Rural Payments and Inspections Department (RPID), also referred to as the Agriculture Food and Rural Communities Directorate (AFRCD). RPID oversees a range of EU and National subsidy schemes, largely through the Integrated Administration and Control System (IACS)—hence the term ‘IACS Forms’. Despite ongoing computer difficulties, applicants must still complete the necessary forms, in hard copy or online, typically each year and by scheme-specific closing dates, to secure subsidy. Following the UK’s withdrawal from the EU, the Scottish Government has had to establish its own legal framework to adjust the effect of Retained EU law related to the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), and to facilitate the collection and processing of agricultural data. Sections 1–12 of The Agriculture (Retained EU Law and Data) (Scotland) Act 2020 (A(REULD)(S)A 2020) concern retained EU law and regulations, being those carried into domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, the Direct Payments to Farmers (Legislative Continuity) Act 2020, or any other enactment that the Scottish Ministers may specify by regulations...

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...
