(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order revokes and replaces article 4 of the Civil Partnership (Treatment of Overseas Relationships) Order 2005 (S.I. 2005/3042).

Article 2(1) saves a will made before 5th December 2005 by a person who has before that date formed an overseas relationship, from becoming invalid on recognition of that relationship as a civil partnership.
