Claimant definition

What does Claimant mean? In legal practice across the UK and Ireland, the claimant is the party who starts a civil claim or seeks a court or tribunal remedy against a defendant or respondent. The term is a procedural description rather than a substantive legal status, and in England and Wales it is defined in the Civil Procedure Rules (CPR 2.3) as a person who makes a claim; since 1999 it has replaced “plaintiff” in most civil proceedings, including judicial review. In Scotland, the equivalent party is generally called the “pursuer” in the Court of Session and Sheriff Court, although “claimant” is used...

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...
