Validation order definition

What does Validation order mean? A validation order is a court order authorising (in advance) or confirming (after the event) a transfer, payment or other dealing with a debtor’s property that would otherwise be void because it occurs after presentation of a winding‑up or bankruptcy petition, or after the commencement of a compulsory winding up. The expression is not a defined statutory term. It reflects legislation that renders post‑petition dispositions void “unless the court otherwise orders” (for example, under the Insolvency Act 1986 and corresponding Northern Ireland provisions; in Ireland, the Companies Act 2014 and the Bankruptcy Act 1988), and is grounded in case law...

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...
