This formal letter serves hereby to notify the bankrupt and any additional co-owner (or occupier) of the relevant property in question that the trustee in bankruptcy (the trustee) intends to realise their beneficial interest in that property. It should generally be sent only once the trustee has resolved to formally issue a court application for possession and sale, or adapted suitably if they do not propose to apply to the court at this stage. Individual letters must be addressed and posted separately to all co-owners/occupiers, ensuring the trustee can be fully confident each has been clearly notified of the position.

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...
