Main Market definition

What does Main Market mean? In UK capital markets practice, the Main Market is the london stock exchange’s primary venue for trading listed securities. It is a regulated market under FSMA and UK MiFIR, but “Main Market” is an LSE market name rather than a statutory definition.

STOP PRESS :

Major reforms to the UK prospectus regime took effect on 19 January 2026.

The UK Prospectus Regulation and the FCA Prospectus Regulation Rules are revoked. The changes are intended to streamline capital raising and materially cut the instances where a company is obliged to produce an FCA-approved prospectus for any subsequent share issues.

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...
