DSIT unveils Cyber Security and Resilience Bill policy statement and scope

The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) has outlined plans for the forthcoming Cyber Security and Resilience Bill, due to reach Parliament in 2025. The proposals will oblige around 1,000 providers—spanning data centres, managed service operators and critical suppliers—to adhere to tougher cyber security obligations. The Bill also provides regulators with enhanced oversight powers and permits the Technology Secretary to adjust regulatory frameworks in line with emerging risks. The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) managed 430 cyber incidents in the year to September 2024, 89 labelled nationally significant. The legislation seeks to counter threats that cost the UK economy an estimated £22bn each year between 2015 and 2019. See: LNB News 01/04/2025 22 and News Analysis: UK to single out cybersecurity vulnerabilities under new Bill.

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...
