What does Financial promotion mean? A financial promotion is any communication made in the course of business that invites or persuades a person to engage in investment activity, such as buying or selling investments, opening investment accounts or subscribing to investment services.

This Practice Note summarises the provisions set out in section 21, together with associated sections, of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (fsma 2000); the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (financial promotion) Order 2005, SI 2005/1529 (FPO); and the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Promotion of Collective Investment Schemes) (Exemptions) Order 2001, SI 2001/1060 (the Promotion of CIS Order).

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...
