Protective award definition

What does Protective award mean? A protective award is a tribunal-ordered payment to employees when an employer breaches statutory duties to inform and consult, typically on collective redundancies and (in the UK) certain TUPE transfers. In England & Wales and Scotland, the award is defined in legislation (Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 and the TUPE Regulations 2006). For collective redundancies, the Employment Tribunal sets a “protected period” of up to 90 days’ pay; for TUPE information/consultation failures, up to 13 weeks’ pay.

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...
