Article 3 Saving and transitional provisions
Where in relation to any proceedings the relevant saving provision applies, the Family Proceedings Rules (Northern Ireland) 1996 continue to apply on and after exit day for the purposes of those proceedings as if the amendments made to the Family Proceedings Rules (Northern Ireland) 1996 by these Rules had not been made.
In paragraph (1) “the relevant savings provision” means, as applicable—
regulation 8 of the Jurisdiction and Judgments (Family) (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019f1; or
regulation 7 of the Civil Partnership and Marriage (Same Sex Couples) (Jurisdiction and Judgments) (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019f2.
Where an application under rule 8.65(1) as then in operation was made before exit day, rule 8.65(1) continues to apply for the purposes of that application on and after exit day as if the amendments made by these Rules had not been made.
in relation to a mediation to which the Cross-Border Mediation Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2011f3 applied before exit day, rules 8.64 and 8.66 continue to apply on and after exit day so far as relevant in relation to mediation evidence relating to that mediation, as if the amendments made to the Family Proceedings Rules (Northern Ireland) 1996 by these Rules had not been made.
