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.

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).

1 Introduction and instructions Internal use only—do not send to clients. Money launderers may try to hide where funds originate by arranging payments via associates or other third parties. A payment to or from a third party is especially suspicious if it is unanticipated, made at short notice, or said to be an error with a request for the money to be returned. There can be genuine reasons for third-party funding, for example parents providing a house deposit to their child. Ensure you carry out appropriate due diligence, including verifying the source of funds, before accepting any such funds. You should be satisfied that third-party monies are from a legitimate source and for legitimate reasons. This investigation record must be completed before any funds from a third party are accepted. Refer to our AML, CTF and...

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...
