Delivery definition

What does Delivery mean? Delivery, in practice, is the seller handing over possession or control of goods to the buyer or the buyer’s agent at the agreed time and place. In the UK and Ireland it is defined in statute as the voluntary transfer of possession from one person to another (sale of goods Act 1979, s 61(1); Sale of Goods Act (Northern Ireland) 1979; Sale of Goods Act 1893 (Ireland), as amended).

Key features include actual delivery, constructive delivery (for example, to a carrier or by attornment), and symbolic...

Planning (Wales) Act 2015: practitioner overview of sustainable development duties, plan hierarchy, development management, enforcement, town and village greens, DNS-to-SIP infrastructure consents, and current Welsh planning law consolidation

Published by a LexisNexis Planning expert

Practice notes

Background

In October 2011, an independent advisory panel was created to examine how the planning system in Wales was being delivered in practice. By 2014, the panel concluded that a comprehensive ‘root and branch’ overhaul was unnecessary, though it proposed a series of measures to enhance the system as a whole. This process culminated in the Planning (Wales) Act 2015 (P(W)A 2015), which formally obtained Royal Assent on 6 July 2015 and—save for one principal exception—is, in practical terms, now substantially in force, for the most part, following its detailed commencement provisions and seven Commencement Orders, the most recent issued in 2021. The exception concerns the facility to apply directly to the Welsh Ministers for planning permission under P(W)A 2015, s 23, which is commenced only so far as is needed to permit the making of regulations or orders at this stage. P(W)A 2015 chiefly granted powers to make rules and delivered substantive reforms by amending the principal planning statutes, namely the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (TCPA 1990) and the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 (PCPA 2004). The strategic development plan provisions introduced by P(W)A 2015 have, in turn, been superseded by amendments made by the Local Government...

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...
