Scope and interpretation | Para. 1.1 |
Forms for committal applications | Para. 2.1 |
Other Forms | Para. 3.1 |
This Practice Direction lists the forms to be used in family proceedings on or after 6th April 2011. Table 1 lists the forms against the part of the FPR to which they are relevant, and Table 2 lists the forms individually with their description.
The forms may be –
(a) modified as the circumstances require, provided that all essential information, especially information or guidance which the form gives to the recipient, is included;
(b) expanded to include additional pages where that may be necessary, provided that any additional pages are also verified by a statement of truth.
Any reference in family proceedings forms to a Part, rule or Practice Direction is to be read as a reference to the equivalent Part, rule or Practice Direction in the FPR and any reference to a Practice Direction in any CPR form used in family proceedings is to be read as a reference to the equivalent Practice Direction in the FPR.
Rule 33.1(2) applies Part 50 of, and Schedules 1 and 2 to the CPR, in so far as they are relevant and with necessary modification (including the modification referred to in rule 33.7), to an application made in the High Court and a county court to enforce an order made in family proceedings. The CPR Practice Direction ‘RSC52 and CCR 29-Committal Applications’ therefore applies with necessary modifications to the enforcement of such an order. The form to be used for a committal application is set out in that Practice Direction. Accordingly, where a committal application is made in existing proceedings, it must be commenced by filing an application notice under Part 18 in those proceedings ( a form C2 where there are existing proceedings under the Children Act 1989, a form D11 where the existing proceedings are matrimonial or civil partnership proceedings, financial remedy proceedings and proceedings under Part 8 or otherwise a form FP2).Otherwise a committal application must be commenced by the issue of a Part 19 application notice ( a form FP1).
Other forms may be authorised by practice directions.
