STOP PRESS : Major changes to the UK prospectus framework took effect on 19 January 2026. The updated regime for public offers of securities and for admissions to trading in the UK is primarily contained in the Public Offers and Admissions to Trading Regulations 2024 ( SI 2024/105) (the POATRs) and the FCA sourcebook, The Prospectus Rules: Admission to Trading on a Regulated Market ( PRM). The UK Prospectus Regulation and the FCA Prospectus Regulation Rules have been revoked. These reforms aim to streamline capital raising and significantly reduce the instances when a company must produce an FCA-approved prospectus for a further share issue. Accordingly, fewer further issues will necessitate an FCA approved prospectus. For a full explanation of the changes, see Practice Note: UK prospectus regime reform. This Practice Note covers the prospectus regime that applied before 19 January 2026. UKLR: UK...

This precedent memorandum This precedent memorandum presents a specimen group-wide dealing policy issued by The Chartered Governance Institute (formerly known as ICSA: The Governance Institute) ( CGI), GC100, the Quoted Companies Alliance ( QCA) and other market participants too. It was created after the Financial Conduct Authority ( FCA) chose to remove the Model Code, which had formed part of the listing rules, because it conflicted with the EU Market Abuse Regulation that came into force on 3 July 2016. The CGI, GC 100 and the QCA agreed that it would be greatly beneficial for listed and quoted companies to be able to refer to an equivalent version of the Model Code. Companies with a former premium listing of equity shares had previously been required to comply with the Model Code, which restricted persons discharging managerial...

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...
