Case management definition

What does Case management mean? In practice, case management is the court’s active control of civil proceedings so a case progresses efficiently, fairly and at proportionate cost. Through case management conferences and pre-trial reviews, the court sets timetables, gives directions on statements of case/pleadings, disclosure and expert evidence, narrows the issues, encourages ADR, and enforces compliance with sanctions; in some jurisdictions it also manages costs budgets. In England and Wales, the Civil Procedure Rules govern case management: the overriding objective (Part 1) and case management powers (Part 3) drive directions, track allocation and costs management.

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...
