MAGISTRATES' COURTS, ENGLAND AND WALES

These Rules, with effect from 1st January 2004, re-enact the Family Proceedings Courts (Constitution) (Metropolitan Areas) Rules 1991 (the Metropolitan Rules) (S.I. 1991/1426) with amendments. In addition to drafting amendments, the substantial change is that the Rules apply to the whole of the Greater London Commission Area rather than just the Inner London areas that the Metropolitan Rules applied to.
