Introduction We are all required to act in the organisation’s best interests. A conflict of interest arises where someone’s personal, financial, or other concerns cut across the organisation’s interests. Even the suggestion of a conflict is unacceptable and can harm the organisation and its reputation. The actions of family members and close associates can also create conflicts. Conflicts can appear in many guises, commonly including: external employment; holdings or influence in other companies; commercial prospects; and familial and close personal relationships. These examples are outlined in greater detail below. This is not an exhaustive account of every circumstance in which a conflict might occur. If you feel pulled by ‘conflicting loyalties’, or others could reasonably think that you are, a conflict may exist and should be addressed. Many real or potential conflicts can be managed in a way that works for both you and the...

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).

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...
