# The Child Support Appeals (Jurisdiction of Courts) Order 2002, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order revokes and replaces (as regards England and Wales) the Child Support Appeals (Jurisdiction of Courts) Order 1993 (S.I. 1993/961 (L. 12)), which provides for child support appeals to be made to a court instead of to an appeal tribunal where the issue in the appeal is parentage of the qualifying child in relation to whom an application for child support maintenance has been made under the Child Support Act 1991.
The amendments are consequential on the replacement, by virtue of section 10 of the Child Support, Pensions and Social Security Act 2000, of section 20 of the Child Support Act 1991, which deals with child support appeals. This Order also makes provision for the application (with modifications) of regulations 31 and 32 of the Social Security and Child Support (Decision and Appeals) Regulations 1999 in relation to the appeals to which this Order applies.
