FAMILY PROCEEDINGS

SENIOR COURTS OF ENGLAND AND WALES

FAMILY COURT, ENGLAND AND WALES

This Order makes amendments to secondary legislation in consequence of the establishment of the family court as provided for in section 17 of the Crime and Courts Act 2013 (c.22). The coming into force of the family court means that magistrates’ courts and the county court will no longer have jurisdiction to hear family proceedings or matters relating to the enforcement or variation of orders made in family proceedings. These matters will be dealt with in the family court.
