Part 2: Courts and Justice

Schedule 11: Transfer of jurisdiction to family court

320.Paragraphs 1 to 209 make amendments to legislation providing for the transfer of jurisdiction to the family court. Principally these amendments reflect the fact that the county court and magistrates’ courts will no longer deal with family proceedings and transfer their family jurisdiction to the new family court.

321.Paragraph 210 contains repeals and revocations in consequence of Part 1 of the Schedule.
