exhibit definition

What does exhibit mean? An exhibit is a document, recording or physical item put before the court as evidence, or attached to a witness statement or affidavit to support the deponent’s evidence. The term is descriptive rather than statutory, but its handling is governed by court rules. In England & Wales and Northern Ireland, the Civil Procedure Rules/Rules of the Court of Judicature and their practice directions prescribe how exhibits to witness statements and affidavits must be identified, marked and referred to (for example “AB1”), and how documents are served, disclosed and paginated.

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...
