  "text": "(This note is not part of the Rules)\nThese Rules amend the Family Proceedings Rules 1991 (S.I.1991/1247).\nGender Recognition. The rules insert into rule 2.51C a reference to section 5A(1) of the Gender Recognition Act 2004 (c. 7). This section was inserted by the Civil Partnership Act 2004 (c. 33). It provides for the issue of a full gender recognition certificate to a person who has been a civil partner in similar terms to those provided by section 5 in relation to a person who has been married.\nApplications for ancillary relief which include an application for a pension sharing or pension attachment order. The rules amend the provision relating to which documents need to be sent to the court when the court is considering an application for a consent order which includes an order in relation to pension sharing. In addition, where there is an application for ancillary relief which includes an application for a pension sharing order or a pension attachment order, the rules provide for information to be given to the other party by the party with pension rights in certain circumstances. The circumstances relate to the involvement of the Pension Protection Fund with the pension arrangement. The Pension Protection Fund was established by the Pensions Act 2004 (c. 35) (“the Pensions Act”). It pays compensation to members of certain pension schemes when a qualifying insolvency event in relation to the employer occurs and where there are insufficient assets in the pension scheme to cover the levels of compensation which would be payable by the Pension Protection Fund under the Pensions Act\nChild Abduction. The rules make provision consequential on the commencement of the Child Abduction and Custody Act 1985 (Jersey) Order 2006. The Child Abduction and Custody Act 1985 (c. 60) (“the 1985 Act”) gives effect in the United Kingdom to the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction (1980, Cm.33) and the European Convention on Recognition and Enforcement of Decisions Concerning Custody of Children (1980, Cm.191). The Child Abduction and Custody Act 1985 (Jersey) Order 2006 modifies the 1985 Act so as to extend to Jersey the provisions applying between the United Kingdom jurisdictions in respect of the transmission of Convention applications, suspension of jurisdiction and transfer of applications between courts.",
