Tomlin Order
Disputes & Litigation

A Tomlin Order stays a claim on agreed terms that are set out in a schedule to the court order, which remains confidential between the parties and brings the disputes between the parties and the litigation to an end other than for the purpose of enforcement proceedings, if they are required.

These orders are recognised by Part 40.6 of the Civil Procedure Rules and generally take the form:

'The parties having agreed to the terms set out in the attached schedule

IT IS ORDERED BY CONSENT:

1. That all further proceedings in this claim be stayed except for the purpose of carrying such terms into effect

2. Liberty to apply.'

The terms of settlement are thus set out in a confidential schedule to the order.
