CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme definition What does CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme mean? The CRC energy efficiency Scheme (formerly the Carbon Reduction Commitment) describes the UK’s former mandatory carbon and energy compliance regime for large organisations. It was a statutory scheme under the climate change Act 2008, implemented by the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme Orders 2010 and 2013, and formed part of UK climate change and energy efficiency policy. Eligible participants were required to register, monitor and report energy supplies, maintain evidence packs, and buy and surrender allowances for associated CO2 emissions.

Environmental permitting Summary
Historically, separate regulatory authorities managed pollutant releases to air, land and water, often without a full picture of the cumulative environmental impacts that a single installation could impose on the wider environment. A system of partially integrated pollution control (IPC) was first introduced in England and Wales in 1990, and in 1996 moved under the control of the EA and local authorities.
However, it was not until the adoption of an EC directive on integrated pollution prevention and control (IPPC), when the UK was still part of the EU, that a fully integrated permitting system for ‘installations’ was established. From 6 April 2008, the environmental permitting regime superseded the pollution prevention and control (PPC) regime.

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...
