Legal professional privilege (LPP) is a core legal protection that permits [ insert organisation’s name ] to resist producing evidence to a third party or the court.

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?

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

This note offers general guidance on divorce procedure only. Your family lawyer will be able to give specific advice tailored to your circumstances. No fault divorce The Divorce, Dissolution and Separation Act 2020 ( DDSA 2020) has been widely described as a landmark reform of divorce law, intended to make the process less acrimonious by introducing what is commonly termed ‘no fault divorce’. For the first time, this legislation completely removes the need to attribute blame when commencing divorce proceedings, changing both tone and approach. The revised divorce procedure applies to applications issued from 6 April 2022. Historically, in England and Wales, anyone applying for a divorce had to demonstrate that the marriage had broken down irretrievably, and to do so they were required to prove one of five facts. Three of those facts depended on fault—adultery with a person of the opposite sex,...
This document offers general guidance on divorce procedure. Your family solicitor can provide advice tailored to your circumstances. Specific advice will depend on your circumstances, and your family solicitor can provide this. No fault divorce The Divorce, Dissolution and Separation Act 2020 ( DDSA 2020) substantially reshaped divorce law, aiming to lower acrimony by bringing in the commonly called ‘no fault divorce’. The legislation removes the need to attribute fault when initiating proceedings, rather than apportion blame at the outset. It entirely dispenses with attributing blame at the commencement of divorce proceedings. Historically, to obtain a divorce in England and Wales, the applicant had to demonstrate that the marriage had irretrievably broken down, which required proving one of five facts. Three rested on fault—adultery, unreasonable behaviour, and desertion—while two depended on a qualifying period of separation: two years with consent, or five years without...

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...
