Procedural guide—applications under Schedule 1 to the Children Act 1989

Procedural guide—applications under Schedule 1 to the Children Act 1989 From 22 April 2014 the shortened financial remedy procedure applied to applications under ChA 1989, Sch 1, however, with effect from 4 June 2018 only an application for an order for periodical payments where no form of capitalisation is sought under ChA 1989, Sch 1, paras 1(2)(a), 1(2)(b), 2(2)(a), and 9 will be dealt with under the fast-track procedure. An application for a capital order, or an application for both periodical payments and capital orders, will, therefore, be dealt with under the standard procedure. Where an application is made for variation of an order, the fast-track procedure is limited to an application for the variation of a periodical payments order, again where no form of capitalisation is sought. An application under ChA 1989, Sch 1 is made in the Family Court and allocated to a district judge.

Grounds for refusing assistance by the requested authority

Grounds for refusing assistance by the requested authority The Crime (International Co-operation) Act 2003 (C(IC)A 2003) is the UK’s main domestic legislation for mutual legal assistance (MLA) and provides the framework for making and giving effect to MLA requests. It prescribes the mechanisms by which UK law enforcement authorities can both obtain and provide evidence or assistance in criminal investigations and proceedings. For detailed guidance on the forms of assistance available under this and other related legislation, consult Practice Notes: Mutual legal assistance (MLA) and Mutual legal assistance—forms of assistance. Discretion to provide assistance to an overseas authority Where a request for MLA is received in the UK from an overseas authority, the Secretary of State may: • arrange for evidence to be obtained, subject to various conditions having been met • direct a search warrant is applied for • direct that an application be made for a production order (despite the absence of explicit wording in C(IC)A 2003, s 13(1)(b) to this effect) In practice, the UK Central Authority...

Environmental civil sanctions—fixed monetary penalties

Environmental civil sanctions—fixed monetary penalties What is a Fixed Monetary Penalty The Regulatory Enforcement and Sanctions Act 2008 (RESA 2008) enabled regulators to be given powers to deal with offences using civil sanctions, instead of prosecuting. Regulation 39 gives power by notice to impose a fixed monetary penalty (FMP) on a person in relation to a relevant offence. A ‘fixed monetary penalty’ under RESA 2008 is ‘a requirement to pay to a regulator a penalty of a prescribed amount’. RESA 2008 provides guidance on the use of civil sanctions. It also requires the regulator to prepare and publish guidance about how a relevant offence is enforced. The EA Enforcement and Sanctions Policy indicates that civil sanctions will be most suitable for offences with minor or no direct environmental impact such as paperwork and administration offences, and where previous advice and guidance has failed to secure the necessary improvements. Civil sanctions may be used for offences where a low-level monetary penalty is more likely...

Can a parent claim child maintenance from the other parent in circumstances where the potential paying party earns less than the potential receiving party and may be liable to pay them maintenance pending suit?

Can a parent claim child maintenance from the other parent in circumstances where the potential paying party earns less than the potential receiving party and may be liable to pay them maintenance pending suit? The powers of the court to order child periodical payments were severely curtailed by the Child Support Act 1991 (CSA 1991). In most cases, where the parents of children separate and an agreement for their maintenance cannot be reached between them, the provisions of CSA 1991 will oblige the non-resident parent (NRP) to pay child maintenance to the parent with care (PWC) via the Child Maintenance Service (CMS). The scheme does not extend to those who are habitually resident outside the UK. Child maintenance is payable for any child under 16 and for any young person (aged over 16 but not having attained the age of 20) who is in full-time education and for whom child benefit is payable (see CSA 1991, ss 1 and 55, and the Child Support Maintenance Calculation Regulations 2012 (CSMCR 2012),...

Where child maintenance is currently payable under the statutory scheme, but the parent with care intends to move with the child to another EU country, can the courts in England and Wales make an order for maintenance prior to the relocation for both maintenance and school fees and would that order be enforceable after the relocation? Will the position be different if the UK leaves the EU?

Where child maintenance is currently payable under the statutory scheme, but the parent with care intends to move with the child to another EU country, can the courts in England and Wales make an order for maintenance prior to the relocation for both maintenance and school fees and would that order be enforceable after the relocation? Will the position be different if the UK leaves the EU? Child maintenance is, as a general rule, governed by the Child Maintenance Service (CMS) and the court does not have jurisdiction to make any order in relation to this, save in certain circumstances. This is set out in section 8 of the Child Support Act 1991 (CSA 1991), which provides that: ‘(1) This subsection applies in any case where a child support officer would have jurisdiction to make a maintenance assessment with respect to a qualifying child and an absent parent of his on an application duly made by a person entitled to apply for such an assessment with...
