1 Introduction 1.1 For this policy, ‘homeworking’ refers to carrying out all, or virtually all, of your contracted hours from your home or an appropriate remote site within the UK, as authorised by your manager in advance. It does not cover ‘hybrid working’, where employees spend some time at the workplace and the remainder at home or another suitable remote location, splitting their working hours between both settings. For information about our approach to hybrid working, please refer to the Company’s Hybrid working policy. 1.2 This policy does not anticipate home or remote working from outside the UK, since that would raise substantial additional legal and practical considerations for both you and the Company. If you intend to work from a location outside the UK, you must first secure prior written permission from the Company, via your manager, before proceeding. The procedure for...

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...
