This Order brings into force immediately, section 10 of the Civil Procedure Act 1997 (minor and consequential amendments) in so far as it relates to paragraph 3(a) of Schedule 2 to the Act. Paragraph 3(a) amends section 40 of the Matrimonial and Family Proceedings Act 1984 (c. 42) to allow Family Proceedings Rules to make different provision for different cases or areas.
The Order brings into force, on 27th April 1997, the remaining provisions of the Civil Procedure Act 1997 with the exception of some minor and consequential amendments in Schedule 2 to the Act. These amendments, which relate to the Supreme Court Act 1981 and the County Courts Act 1984, cannot take effect until the rules made under those Acts are replaced by the Civil Procedure Rules made under the Civil Procedure Act 1997.
