It replaces, in a single instrument, provision which is made for some types of family proceedings in rules of court (which are separately revoked by virtue of the Family Procedure Rules 2010 ( S.I. 2010/2955) and the Courts Act 2003 (Commencement No. 14) Order 2010 ( S.I. 2010/2921)) and for others in the Access to Justice Act 1999 (Destination of Appeals) (Family Proceedings) Order 2005 (S.I.2005/3276) (which is revoked by Article 4). With effect from 6th April 2011, appeals against decisions made in family proceedings in the High Court or a county court shall lie as follows—appeals from decisions made by a district judge or deputy district judge of a county court will lie to a judge of that court (article 3); andappeals from decisions made by a district judge of the High Court, a district judge of the principal registry of the Family Division, a costs judge, or a deputy or temporary additional officer in any such office will lie to a judge of the High Court (article 2). Article 2 applies to a decision to be appealed in proceedings in the principal registry of the Family Division of the High Court where it is treated as if it were a county court (for example, where it is treated as a care centre or a divorce county court).", "citation": "S.I. 2011/1044", "type": "uksi", "year": "2011", "number": "1044", "version": "current", "date": "2011-03-30", "revised": true, "valid_from": "2014-04-22", "extent": "E+W", "unapplied_effects": 1, "provisions": [ { "path": "introduction", "kind": "introduction", "number": null, "heading": "Introductory text", "url": "https://openlegislation.uk/access-to-justice-act-1999-destination-of-appeals-family-proceedings-order-2011/introduction", "extent": "E+W", "status": null, "parent": null }, { "path": "article/1", "kind": "article", "number": "1", "heading": "Citation, commencement, interpretation and application", "url": "https://openlegislation.uk/access-to-justice-act-1999-destination-of-appeals-family-proceedings-order-2011/article-1", "extent": "E+W", "status": null, "parent": null }, { "path": "article/2", "kind": "article", "number": "2", "heading": "Appeals to a judge of the High Court", "url": "https://openlegislation.uk/access-to-justice-act-1999-destination-of-appeals-family-proceedings-order-2011/article-2", "extent": "E+W", "status": null, "parent": null }, { "path": "article/3", "kind": "article", "number": "3", "heading": "Appeals to a judge of a county court", "url": "https://openlegislation.uk/access-to-justice-act-1999-destination-of-appeals-family-proceedings-order-2011/article-3", "extent": "E+W", "status": "repealed", "parent": null }, { "path": "article/4", "kind": "article", "number": "4", "heading": "Revocation", "url": "https://openlegislation.uk/access-to-justice-act-1999-destination-of-appeals-family-proceedings-order-2011/article-4", "extent": "E+W", "status": null, "parent": null }, { "path": "signature", "kind": "signature", "number": null, "heading": "Signature", "url": "https://openlegislation.uk/access-to-justice-act-1999-destination-of-appeals-family-proceedings-order-2011/signature", "extent": "E+W", "status": null, "parent": null }, { "path": "note", "kind": "note", "number": null, "heading": "Explanatory note", "url": "https://openlegislation.uk/access-to-justice-act-1999-destination-of-appeals-family-proceedings-order-2011/note", "extent": "E+W", "status": null, "parent": null } ], "has_text": true, "pdfs": [ { "title": "Printed copy", "main": true, "language": null, "date": "2011-04-06", "size": 49919, "url": "https://openlegislation.uk/access-to-justice-act-1999-destination-of-appeals-family-proceedings-order-2011/pdf/uksi_20111044_en.pdf", "source_url": "https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2011/1044/pdfs/uksi_20111044_en.pdf" }, { "title": "Explanatory Memorandum", "main": false, "language": null, "date": "2011-04-06", "size": 24990, "url": "https://openlegislation.uk/access-to-justice-act-1999-destination-of-appeals-family-proceedings-order-2011/pdf/uksiem_20111044_en.pdf", "source_url": "https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2011/1044/pdfs/uksiem_20111044_en.pdf" } ], "outstanding_effects": [ { "type": "applied (with modifications)", "affected_provisions": "art. 1-3", "affecting": "uksi/2014/956", "affecting_title": "The Crime and Courts Act 2013 (Family Court: Transitional and Saving Provision) Order 2014", "affecting_provisions": "art. 11" } ], "made_under": [ { "id": "ukpga/1999/22", "title": "Access to Justice Act 1999", "url": "https://openlegislation.uk/access-to-justice-act-1999", "provisions": [ "section/56" ] } ], "changes_made_to": 14, "changes_made_to_url": "https://openlegislation.uk/access-to-justice-act-1999-destination-of-appeals-family-proceedings-order-2011/changes.json", "changes_made_by": 5, "changes_made_by_url": "https://openlegislation.uk/access-to-justice-act-1999-destination-of-appeals-family-proceedings-order-2011/changes/by-it.json", "instruments_made_under": 0, "instruments_made_under_url": "https://openlegislation.uk/access-to-justice-act-1999-destination-of-appeals-family-proceedings-order-2011/instruments.json", "provenance": { "source": "legislation.gov.uk", "source_url": "https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2011/1044", "retrieved_at": "2026-10-29T02:09:47.163370+00:00" }, "licence": "Open Government Licence v3.0", "licence_url": "https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/doc/open-government-licence/version/3/", "attribution": "Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
