Key developments and materials

Assimilated law procedures paused as part of UK–EU ‘reset’. The government has deferred commencement of section 6 of the Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Act 2023 as it works towards a UK–EU reset.

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...
