Scott Schedule definition

What does Scott Schedule mean? A Scott Schedule is a tabular document used in litigation, family proceedings and arbitration to set out each disputed item (for example an allegation, defect, variation, delay event or head of loss) alongside each party’s concise position and any quantum, so the issues are clearly defined and narrowed. It is not defined in legislation or court rules; it is a descriptive case‑management tool originating in the former Official Referees’ practice.

Damages claim for misrepresentation, at common law and/or under the Misrepresentation Act 1967, s 2

The Claimant entered the contract in reliance on the Defendant’s assurances that every parcel of land needed for the scheme had already been secured and that former local residents supported the project. See Schedule X. The Claimant says this amounted to fraudulent misrepresentation: the assertion was untrue and the Defendant knew it.

Tomlin orders in England and Wales: CPR guidance on drafting, confidentiality, approval, variation, enforcement, limitation, CCA issues, court-specific requirements, sample wording and precedents

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...
