For detailed guidance on completing a legal risk register, see Practice Note: How to create a legal risk register. However, a concise summary is set out briefly below. What is a legal risk register? A legal risk register is a means of gathering and overseeing all legal risk information in a single location. To produce an effective and reliable register, you must first determine the legal risks your organisation encounters. Understanding your organisation’s risk appetite is also highly advantageous. The register then lets you classify each risk appropriately, assign a score to it, and choose mitigation measures and actions. Separate Precedents exist for a general risk register and for a privacy risk register-see Precedents: Risk register and Privacy risk

Counterparts A counterparts clause is a standard boilerplate provision that permits the parties to a contract to sign separate versions of the same agreement, rather than requiring every signatory to endorse one single document. Although there is no statutory footing for this in Ireland, executing agreements in counterparts is nonetheless common practice. This approach is especially useful where there are numerous parties, or where signatories are spread across different regions or countries and cannot arrange an in‑person completion meeting. If an agreement omits a counterparts clause, that omission may not, of itself, prevent the execution of a counterpart document. Even so, including such a clause is recommended to provide certainty and to forestall any suggestion that the agreement is not binding because it has not been executed correctly. It is also important to distinguish between original counterparts and original duplicates. If all parties sign several copies of the...

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...
