Forced Marriage (Civil Protection) Act 2007

Applications and other occasions for making orders

92.Paragraph 3 replicates section 63C in section 1 in that it sets out who may apply for a forced marriage protection order, with or without leave; and in considering leave, the factors which are to be taken into account.

93.Paragraph 3 varies from section 63C in some limited respects. The definition of “family proceedings” in sub-paragraph (7) is related to the Family Homes and Domestic Violence (Northern Ireland) Order 1998 rather than Part 4 of the FLA which does not apply to Northern Ireland. In sub-paragraph (7) the Department of Finance and Personnel is given the power to specify the relevant third parties, who may take applications on behalf of a person to be protected.
