The timetable below is illustrative; no deadlines are set by statute. If the company advancing the plan is a regulated entity, the regulator’s rules on when creditors must be notified will shape the schedule. The regulator will also wish to review the proposals and documents, further affecting timing (for relevant factors, see Practice Note: Schemes of arrangement for FCA regulated companies). In addition, where many intermediaries stand between the company and the ultimate beneficial holders of the debt, extra time may be needed for documents to pass through intermediaries and clearing systems, and for creditors to consider the scheme. Date Action From 98 days before the convening hearing Draft the scheme of arrangement, explanatory statement, and proxy form (see Precedents: Scheme of arrangement, Explanatory statement, Form of proxy) Compile a complete list of creditors with contact addresses Where current addresses are...

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...
