Key definition

Exclusions definition

What does Exclusions mean? In financial services practice, exclusions are statutory carve‑outs that mean an activity which would otherwise be a regulated activity is treated as unregulated if defined conditions are met. Across the UK (England & Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland), exclusions are set out in the financial services and markets act 2000 (Regulated Activities) Order 2001 (SI 2001/544) (the RAO), made under FSMA 2000. The RAO specifies activities and investments and, for many of them, provides exclusions. If an exclusion applies, the activity is not a “regulated activity” for FSMA purposes (including section 22), so the general prohibition and FCA authorisation requirement...

UK Rome I (Assimilated): Scope, Exclusions and Determination of Applicable Law for Contracts Concluded on or after 1 January 2021

Published by a LexisNexis Dispute Resolution expert

Practice notes

This Practice Note

This Practice Note is to be used when identifying the governing law where a contract was concluded on or after 1 January 2021. For agreements made before 1 January 2021, the UK courts will apply a different governing law framework. Which framework applies turns on the date the contract was formed in each case. For help on the distinct frameworks and how they relate, see Practice Note: Applicable law regimes. This Practice Note cites UK Rome I, Regulation (EC) 593/2008. That regulation is used to determine the governing law in matters where the relevant contract was concluded on or after 1 January 2021. Formerly termed Retained Rome I, from 1 January 2024 it has been styled Assimilated Rome I—the alteration is in name alone and not in the substance of the regulation. Authorities may describe the regulation using either label and therefore, for convenience, this Practice Note refers to the regulation as UK Rome I throughout. For further detail on assimilated law, see Practice Note: Assimilated law. For guidance on whether judgments of the Court of Justice delivered before 31 December 2020 remain binding on UK courts, see...

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...
