Controls definition

What does Controls mean? In practice, controls are the user-facing settings (eg a cookie banner, preference centre or consent management platform) that let individuals accept, reject or later withdraw consent to cookies and similar tracking technologies. The term is descriptive rather than defined in statute, but requirements flow from PECR (UK) and the ePrivacy Regulations 2011 (Ireland), read with the UK GDPR/GDPR standard for consent and regulator guidance (ICO, DPC, EDPB).

Hazardous waste controls in England and Wales: classification and List of Waste, mixing restrictions, consignment procedures, records and returns, and forthcoming EA 2021 digital tracking and carrier/broker permit reforms

Published by a LexisNexis Environment expert

Practice notes

Across the UK, Hazardous wastes are governed by distinct regimes for England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. In England and Wales, the Hazardous Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2005, SI 2005/894 (the ‘Hazardous Waste Regulations’) prescribe the regime. The Environment Act 2021 (EA 2021) created powers to make further regulations to strengthen the hazardous waste regime in England and Wales.

Subject to reg 9, a waste is “hazardous waste” if it is:

listed as a hazardous waste in the List of Wastes
a specific batch of waste determined (under regulation 8) to be hazardous waste

The “List of Wastes” in this context means the list established by Commission Decision 2000/532/EC, which replaced Decision 94/3/EC establishing a list of wastes pursuant to Article 1(a) of Council Directive 75/442/EEC on waste, and Council Decision 94/904/EC establishing a list of hazardous waste pursuant to Article 1(4) of Council Directive 91/689/EEC on hazardous waste, as amended from time to time.

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...
