person—ahas failed to pay an amount of child support maintenance, andbwith the intention of avoiding payment of child support maintenance, is about to make a disposition or to transfer out of the jurisdiction or otherwise deal with any property,for an order restraining or, in Scotland, interdicting the person from doing so.2The Commission may apply to the court, on the grounds that a person—ahas failed to pay an amount of child support maintenance, andbwith the intention of avoiding payment of child support maintenance, has at any time made a reviewable disposition,for an order setting aside or, in Scotland, reducing the disposition.3If the court is satisfied of the grounds mentioned in subsection (1) or (2) it may make an order under that subsection.4Where the court makes an order under subsection (1) or (2) it may make such consequential provision by order or directions as it thinks fit for giving effect to the order (including provision requiring the making of any payments or the disposal of any property).5Any disposition is a reviewable disposition for the purposes of subsection (2), unless it was made for valuable or, in Scotland, adequate consideration (other than marriage) to a person who, at the time of the disposition, acted in relation to it in good faith and without notice of an intention to avoid payment of child support maintenance.6Subsection (7) applies where an application is made under this section with respect to—aa disposition or other dealing with property which is about to take place, orba disposition which

other dealing would (apart from this section) have the consequence of making ineffective a step that has been or may be taken to recover the amount outstanding, orbin a case falling within subsection (2), that the disposition has had that consequence,it is to be presumed, unless the contrary is shown, that the person who disposed of or is about to dispose of or deal with the property did so or, as the case may be, is about to do so, with the intention of avoiding payment of child support maintenance.8In this section “disposition” does not include any provision contained in a will or codicil but, with that exception, includes any conveyance, assurance or gift of property of any description, whether made by an instrument or otherwise.9This section does not apply to a disposition made before the coming into force of section 24 of the Child Maintenance and Other Payments Act 2008.10In this section “the court” means—ain relation to England and Wales, the High Court;bin relation to Scotland, the Court of Session or the sheriff.11An order under this section interdicting a person—ais effective for such period (including an indefinite period) as the order may specify;bmay, on

purposes of this section to have failed to pay the amount, unless it is paid to or through the person specified in, or by virtue of, the regulations for the case in question.Regulations about

part of the person.2For the purposes of subsection (1)(a), the Secretary of State is to be taken to have sought to recover an amount by means of a charging order if an interim charging order has been made, whether or not any further steps have been taken to recover the amount.3A person against whom an order under this section is made is disqualified for holding or obtaining a travel authorisation while the order has effect.4On an application under subsection (1) for an order against a person the court shall (in the presence of that person) inquire as to—awhether the person needs a travel

an application under section 40 (or, in the case of an application made to the sheriff, as an application under section 40A).4The Secretary of State may by regulations make provision as to—athe cases

person authorised to receive it, the court may, on an application by the Secretary of State or the person against whom the warrant was issued—areduce the period specified in the warrant; orborder the
