STOP PRESS: On 19 June 2025, the Data ( Use and Access) Bill obtained Royal Assent, becoming the Data ( Use and Access) Act 2025 ( DUAA 2025) and partially commencing on that date.

STOP PRESS: On 19 June 2025, the Data ( Use and Access) Bill secured Royal Assent, transforming into the Data ( Use and Access) Act 2025 ( DUAA 2025), with partial commencement on that very same day. A number of DUAA 2025 provisions, covering areas like handling data subject access requests and granting powers to make additional regulations, took effect immediately on 19 June 2025.

STOP PRESS: On 15 January 2026, the Information Commissioner’s Office issued updated UK GDPR guidance on international transfers, including advice on ‘appropriate safeguards’ (see: LNB News 16/01/2026 10).

This precedent is for use between a processor and sub-processor. It presumes the sub-processor can negotiate relatively advantageous terms, and that the initial processor has contracted with the controller by reference to Precedent: Personal data processing schedule—pro-supplier— UK GDPR and EU GDPR. For a compilation of standard provisions suitable for contracts between a controller and a processor, see: List of data protection clauses and agreements for commercial transactions and personal data processing and sharing. This precedent also relies upon additional defined expressions—‘ Agreement’, ‘ Business Day’, ‘ Charges’, ‘ Customer’, ‘ Services’, ‘ Supplier’, and ‘ Supplier Personnel’—which are not intended to be unique to this schedule and are expected to be defined separately within the applicable agreement......
This precedent applies to arrangements between a processor and sub-processor, and presumes the customer (acting as the original processor) intends to pass through terms settled with a controller, by reference to Precedent: Personal data processing schedule—pro-customer— UK GDPR and EU GDPR.

Chapter V ( Transfers of personal data to third countries or international organisations) In brief, the United Kingdom General Data Protection Regulation, Assimilated Regulation ( EU) 2016/679 ( UK GDPR), restricts the transfer of personal data beyond the UK (and to certain ‘international organisations’). ‘ Assimilated law’ is the label applied to retained EU law that continues in force after the end of 2023. For further information, see Practice Note: Assimilated law and News Analysis: Implications of the move to ‘assimilated’ law, and the Retained EU Law ( Revocation and Reform) Act 2023, for data protection lawyers. One of the most frequently relied upon transfer mechanisms used to comply with those international transfer restrictions is commonly known as standard contractual clauses ( SCCs). This document includes a link to a template SCC issued by the UK Information...
Chapter V ( Transfers of personal data to third countries or international organisations) In summary, Chapter V of the United Kingdom General Data Protection Regulation, Assimilated Regulation ( EU) 2016/679 ( UK GDPR), places limits on sending personal data outside the UK and to certain ‘international organisations’. A frequently used route to satisfy these international transfer rules is the use of standard contractual clauses ( SCCs). This document provides a link to a template SCC released by the UK Information Commissioner’s Office ( ICO) in 2022. The key details of that template SCC are: Name: International data transfer addendum to the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses for international data transfers (the Addendum) Purpose: An addendum that can be used to rely on the SCCs issued by the European Commission in June 2021 for use under the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation, Regulation ( EU) 2016/679 ( EU GDPR) as an SCC...

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...
