EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Registration of Marriages Regulations 1986 and the Registration of Marriages (Welsh Language) Regulations 1999 to reflect the amendments made to the Asylum and Immigration (Treatment of Claimants, etc.) Act 2004 by the Remedial Order under section 10(2) of the Human Rights Act 1998 following judgement in the case of “Baiai and others v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2006] EWHC 823 QB”. The amendments in these Regulations remove the declaration on the forms for giving notice of marriage which require a person subject to immigration control to provide evidence of eligibility.
