From: [ Insert name and/or job title ] Bribery and corruption persist as a significant problem in global trade, despite numerous initiatives to deter them. Such bribery, along with other corrupt practices, harms societies where it takes place. It diverts funds and the benefits those resources would deliver away from people who need them most. It also impedes economic and social development......
Summary The Bribery Act 2010 ( BA 2010) took effect on 1 July 2011. It extends to any company incorporated in, or trading from, the UK and captures bribery carried out for its benefit anywhere in the world, irrespective of where it occurs. It is markedly wider than earlier anti-corruption legislation. BA 2010 states plainly that individuals must not offer or receive bribes, and it establishes a distinct offence of bribing a foreign public official. In addition, a company is liable where bribery is undertaken on its behalf, unless it has adequate procedures in place to prevent bribery. What amounts to adequate procedures is not defined by BA 2010; businesses must make their own assessment of adequacy. Guidance from the Ministry of Justice ( Mo J) makes clear we must maintain a robust, enforced policy against bribery and corruption that is...

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...
