FDA Commissioner Dr Robert Califf delivered his comments during a five-hour appearance before the US House of Representatives Oversight Committee, which ranged across subjects such as seafood inspections, shortages of infant formula, abortion rights, flavoured tobacco, lead in food and foreign-made vaping products, and featured questioning from several Republican members on whether the antiparasitic medicine ivermectin works against coronavirus (COVID-19) during the proceedings.

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.
