This precedent memorandum This precedent memorandum presents a specimen group-wide dealing policy issued by The Chartered Governance Institute (formerly known as ICSA: The Governance Institute) ( CGI), GC100, the Quoted Companies Alliance ( QCA) and other market participants too. It was created after the Financial Conduct Authority ( FCA) chose to remove the Model Code, which had formed part of the listing rules, because it conflicted with the EU Market Abuse Regulation that came into force on 3 July 2016. The CGI, GC 100 and the QCA agreed that it would be greatly beneficial for listed and quoted companies to be able to refer to an equivalent version of the Model Code. Companies with a former premium listing of equity shares had previously been required to comply with the Model Code, which restricted persons discharging managerial...

[ To appear on the client’s headed paper or bearing the client’s logo] Status determination statement This status determination statement is issued in line with the requirements of section 61NA of the Income Tax ( Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003, and concerns the off-payroll rules. The off-payroll rules may apply where a worker (often described as a contractor) supplies their services through their own limited company (commonly called a personal service company, or PSC), or via another form of intermediary, to a client that is a public authority, or a medium or large private sector organisation with a UK connection. The rules take effect if a worker delivers services to a client through an intermediary but, if engaged directly, would be treated as an employee for tax purposes; they ensure such individuals pay broadly the same tax and National Insurance contributions ( NICs) as...

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...
