Explanatory note

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Rules)

These Rules amend the Family Procedure Rules 2010 (“the FPR”) (S.I. 2010/2955).

Rule 3 inserts a new rule 6.23A into the FPR, which makes provision for service on a person where there are reasonable grounds to believe that person is residing in a refuge. Associated and consequential amendments are made by rules 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 11.

Rule 10 amends rule 30.3 FPR to add a “Nominated Circuit Judge” as a further category of judge who may refuse permission to appeal without a hearing and, if the application is totally without merit, order that the applicant may not request that the decision be reconsidered at a hearing.
