CI definition

What does CI mean? CI (Conventional Island) describes, in nuclear power projects, the non‑nuclear part of a power station and is used in legal drafting to define scope, risk allocation and performance obligations in EPC and O&M contracts and project finance documents. It is not defined in UK or Irish legislation or case law; it is a descriptive engineering and contracting term used across the sector. In contracts, the CI comprises: (a) the turbine‑generator island (which converts steam to electricity); and (b) the balance of conventional island (BCI), being the remaining non‑nuclear systems and civil works required to complete that part of the plant.

Clinical trials: failing to notify insurers of health conditions

Q&As

The following questions may arise:

has the risk increased such that the insured must disclose it during the policy term?
must the information be revealed at renewal?
does it trigger any exclusion for pre-existing conditions?
has there been non-disclosure or misrepresentation?

The insured’s health can be material to many types of cover, including long-term policies (eg life assurance, income protection or critical illness) and short-term policies (eg private medical, accident, or travel insurance). Some policies are fully underwritten at inception via a detailed proposal form. Others require only limited information at the start but exclude pre-existing medical conditions and/or oblige notification of changes to the insured’s health. As a result, it is hard to state universal rules, and the precise terms of cover must be examined carefully in each case.

Obligation to disclose during currency of policy

Tomlin orders in England and Wales: CPR guidance on drafting, confidentiality, approval, variation, enforcement, limitation, CCA issues, court-specific requirements, sample wording and precedents

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...
