This Precedent assists you in recognising and managing challenges associated with planning and executing change across your department. It reviews the stages involved in delivering change and poses key questions to consider for each stage. A worked example of this Precedent is also available, see Precedent: Improving efficiency: Making changes across the department (worked example) 1. Create a sense of urgency Stage Questions/considerations How will employees become aware that change is necessary? How will they grasp how critical and time-sensitive it is? Solution/action ......
This Precedent sets out a practical illustration involving a fictional in-house legal team seeking to refine its contract drafting workflow. Applying the Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve, Control ( DMAIC) efficiency framework, several remedies have been surfaced, notably simplifying the workflow and reassessing document storage so internal clients need not ring administrative assistants to chase information, reducing delays and queries. This case study concentrates on putting that discrete change into practice and making it stick. The emphasis is on clarity and access to information within the drafting cycle. Stage: Questions/considerations • Case study scenario responses 1. Create a sense of urgency How will staff recognise the necessity for change? How will they grasp its significance? How will immediate and longer-term gains be made visible across the department? Communications should be clear and specific. Set out clearly: how the current contract drafting approach is straining budgets the effect the process is having now, and is...

Insurance Premium Adjustment for D& O Climate-related Financial Disclosures ( Archie’s Clause) ( The Chancery Lane Project) This clause encourages organisations to lessen climate exposure by offering lower insurance premiums to policyholders who satisfy agreed reporting disclosure standards for climate-related financial risks......
Condition to Liability Cover for Climate- Related Claims This clause sets a precondition for insurance cover, compelling the insured to establish a rigorous net-zero transition plan before cover incepts for climate-related liability claims. A commercial policyholder must have such a robust plan (including emissions reduction targets) in place at policy inception, as a prerequisite to accessing liability insurance for climate-related claims. The objective is to encourage good behaviour, place the insured on a pathway towards net zero, and lower the likelihood of climate-related claims being brought against the insured, thereby supporting the insurer’s sustainable business. In short, it promotes better conduct, aligns strategy with net-zero goals and mitigates exposure to climate-related liabilities. The clause was created by The Chancery Lane Project ( TCLP) under the title ‘ Condition to Liability Cover for Climate- Related Claims’ and is referenced on TCLP’s website below. For...

This outlines the nine principal stages in a decision-making process and points to decision-making tools that can support different stages along the way. It may be used in conjunction with Precedents: Decision-making guide and Decision-making framework. Information and analysis for all nine stages can be captured and consolidated within Precedent: Decision-making framework. Note 1 Stage 1 is where you define the problem or issue you intend to address, explain why a decision is required, and set out the outcomes you expect to achieve from that decision. Note 2 Stage 2 involves identifying any alternative options or solutions to your problem or issue—depending on the situation there may be a large......
This Precedent (also known as a decision matrix) It serves as a way to appraise the alternative choices you have surfaced against a benchmark, for example the system or process you rely on at present. This tool proves helpful when confronted with possibilities, which may include keeping the status quo, and you require guidance to determine which is the most suitable. The scorecard allows you to rate each option against key criteria to decide whether a single route is viable, or to review a range of options that are not quite right, identify the strongest elements of each, and combine them to create a hybrid option......
Use this in conjunction with our Decision-making guide, which outlines our organisation’s approach to decision-making and explains why we have such a process in place. We recognise that colleagues make decisions at work every day. We do not expect you to follow the Decision-making guide and this framework for minor or operational business decisions, though some of the principles in this framework may prove helpful in day-to-day practice. The Decision-making guide and framework should be applied whenever a significant business decision is required, so that such choices are grounded in evidence and logic.

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...
