The term is defined in consumer and marketing legislation. In the UK, the Trade Descriptions Act 1968 formerly provided (s 3(2)) that a trade description which, though not false, was likely to be taken as an indication of specified matters and would, as such an indication, be false to a material degree, was deemed a false trade description.

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.

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.
