  "long_title": "This Order provides for the routes of appeal from decisions made in family proceedings by certain levels of judge. 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).",
