Software as a service definition

What does Software as a service mean? In legal practice, software as a service (SaaS) describes a cloud delivery model where a supplier hosts and operates application software and grants customers remote (usually internet) access on a subscription basis. It is a descriptive industry term rather than one defined in UK or Irish legislation or case law, and its usage is broadly consistent across England & Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Ireland. Key legal features include: multi-tenant deployment (most customers use the same codebase with configuration rather than bespoke builds); access rights to use the service rather than a transfer of a software copy or a perpetual licence;...

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...
