(This note is not part of the Rules)

These Rules amend the Family Proceedings Courts (Matrimonial Proceedings etc) Rules 1991 so as to provide for the making of applications under Part IV of the Family Law Act 1996 (Family Homes and Domestic Violence) and for the enforcement of orders made under that Part.

The 16 enables magistrates to set an order aside where there has been failure of service.
