Apportionment definition

What does Apportionment mean? Apportionment describes the allocation, between two or more parties, of legal responsibility, costs or damages arising from the same loss, obligation or remedial action. In practice, it determines who pays what share. In contaminated land matters, apportionment has a specific statutory context. In England and Wales and in Scotland, under Part IIA of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and statutory guidance, the enforcing authority identifies liability groups of “appropriate persons”, applies any exclusions, and may then apportion remediation responsibility and costs between those remaining.

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...
