Confidentiality definition

What does Confidentiality mean? In legal practice, confidentiality is the obligation to keep a client’s information and affairs private and to use or disclose it only with proper authority. For lawyers, this duty of confidentiality arises from professional conduct rules (e.g., the SRA Standards and Regulations; the Law Society of Scotland Standards of Conduct; the Law Society of Northern Ireland rules; and the Law Society of Ireland guidance), from contract (engagement terms and non‑disclosure agreements), and from the equitable duty of confidence recognised in case law (breach of confidence).

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...
