Law definition

What does Law mean? In legal practice, Law describes the body of binding rules governing parties’ rights and obligations in the relevant jurisdiction(s). It is not a single statutory or case-law definition; in contracts it is a descriptive catch‑all used to capture all sources of applicable law. Law includes: (a) any primary or secondary legislation (including regulations, statutory instruments and byelaws) in force from time to time that applies to a party or to the place the Services are provided; (b) the common law and, where applicable, equity; (c) any binding court order, judgment or decree; (d) any applicable industry code,

Transfrontier waste shipments: England and Wales and CJEU case law on classification, export scope, documentation, strict liability and animal by-products under the WSR/TFSR

Published by a LexisNexis Environment expert

Practice notes

International shipments of waste to and from the UK

Movements of waste across borders involving the UK fall under the Assimilated Waste Shipment Regulation 1013/2006 (UK WSR) together with the Transfrontier Shipment of Waste Regulations 2007, SI 2007/1711 (TFSR). Within Northern Ireland, the EU Waste Shipment Regulation 1013/2006 (EU WSR) still applies. For an overview of the EU WSR and the UK WSR, see Practice Note: GB Assimilated Regulation on Shipments of Waste—snapshot. For context on the Basel Convention, the accord governing transboundary transfers of hazardous waste, see Practice Note: The Basel Convention—snapshot. For guidance on duties under the TFSR, see Practice Note: Transfrontier shipments of waste—compliance and controls. For offences, enforcement and sanctions under the TFSR, see Practice Note: Transfrontier shipment of waste—offences, enforcement and penalties. This Practice Note provides a concise review of reported decisions, first from the domestic courts, and then from the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU). Following brexit, CJEU rulings no longer bind the UK; however, EU case law continues to bind lower courts unless a superior UK court has reconsidered and departed from it. UK courts may take account of pre-Brexit CJEU authorities when interpreting assimilated law where relevant. For further...

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...
