The issue Sadly, pandemics trigger spikes in criminal online activity; such crises give fraudsters a hook to target people across the globe. As many of us work remotely, we must stay alert to cyber-attacks against both home and workplace systems. Throughout the coronavirus pandemic, criminals are exploiting the situation to pose as local or national governments, regional or global health organisations, and trusted news outlets. Beyond phishing emails, they are also using: text messages to mobiles claiming to be from official bodies, e.g. the UK Government; bogus pandemic-themed websites that deliver malware and malicious apps; impostors pretending to be VPN or portal support to harvest employee credentials. What we need from you It remains essential to use only standard procedures and company-issued IT tools during a pandemic. Any variations to our processes must be fully recorded, reviewed and approved by...

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...
