Article 2 Duty to give particulars of concurrent proceedings in another jurisdiction

Where civil partnership proceedings are pending in respect of a civil partnership and the trial in those proceedings has not begun—

must provide to the court the information required by the relevant practice direction about any proceedings which the applicant or respondent, as the case may be, knows to be continuing in another jurisdiction and which are proceedings in respect of the civil partnership or capable of affecting its validity or subsistence.

The information must be given in such manner, to such persons and on such occasions as may be required by the relevant practice direction.

In this rule, “financial order” has the meaning given in rule 2.3 of the Family Procedure Rules 2010^f1.
