MAGISTRATES' COURTS
These Rules, which do not apply in the inner London area or in the City of London, are made as a consequence of the introduction, by the Children Act 1989 (c. 41), of family proceedings in magistrates' courts which, from 14th October 1991, replace domestic proceedings and thereby create a need for family panels to be constituted in place of domestic court panels.
