f1: S.I. 1992/1989. Regulations 25A to 25AD were inserted by S.I. 2009/1815. References to “the Commission” in these Regulations were replaced with references to “the Secretary of State” by S.I. 2012/2007. S.I. 1992/1989 was amended by S.I. 2014/1386 which was amended by S.I. 2014/1621. The effect of this (insofar as is relevant) is that regulation 2 of S.I. 2014/1386 modifies S.I. 1992/1989 in relation to cases administered under the 2012 scheme of child support.
f2: Part 1 of Schedule 1 to the 1991 Act was substituted by section 1(3) of, and Schedule 1 to, the 2000 Act and amended by Schedule 4 to the 2008 Act.
