Variations definition What does Variations mean? Variations are changes to the agreed works under a construction contract, instructed through the contract mechanism to alter scope, quantity, quality, design, sequence or timing.

Reform to the waste carrier, broker and dealer system
The 2018 Independent Review into Serious and Organised Crime in the Waste Sector revealed that waste is increasingly handled by multiple, often unclear, intermediaries. It advised overhauling registration and duty of care obligations for carriers, brokers and dealers, including for hazardous waste. In its Resources and Waste Strategy, the government outlined how it would address waste crime, aiming to strengthen the transport, management and description of waste by reforming current regulations, and to stop illegal practices being masked by waste exemptions through changes to the existing regime. Through the Environment Act 2021, the government proposed a comprehensive upgrade to waste record keeping, introducing a digital waste tracking system and replacing registration with a permit-based system, to improve background checks and bring in a technical competency requirement. In 2022, the government launched a consultation on reform of the waste carrier, broker and dealer registration system in England, seeking views on:

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...
