ICO expectation and current status

Your business has undertaken an information audit to map data flows:

  • ☐ Not yet implemented or planned
  • ☐ Partially implemented or planned
  • ☐ Successfully implemented
  • ☐ Not applicable

More information

Arrange an information audit across the whole organisation or targeted areas. A single person with deep knowledge of your practices may complete it. This will reveal the data you process and how it enters, moves within, and leaves your organisation. A data flow can also be a transfer between locations. For example, data may remain in-house but a transfer still occurs because a department or other office operates off site. Once you have audited your information, you can then spot any risks.

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...
