Part 1 of the Family Law Act 1986 (c.55) ("the 1986 Act") sets up a scheme of jurisdiction of courts in the United Kingdom to make orders with regard to the custody of children and provides for the recognition and enforcement of such orders throughout the United Kingdom. The Family Law Act 1986 (Dependent Territories) Order 1991 (S.I. 1991/1723) ("the 1991 Order") modifies Part 1 of the 1986 Act so as to bring orders made by courts in dependent territories within the scheme and to provide for the recognition and enforcement of such orders in the United Kingdom.
Article 3 of this Order amends Schedule 1 to the 1991 Order to add Jersey to the list of territories in respect of which that Order makes provision.
Article 4 makes amendments to Schedule 2 to the 1991 Order (which sets out the modifications of Part 1 of the 1986 Act) which are necessary as a consequence of various amendments having been made to the 1986 Act.
Article 5 of and the Schedule to this Order add a new Part 2 of Schedule 3 to the 1991 Order. Schedule 3 of the 1991 Order provides for the interpretation, in relation to a specified dependent territory, of expressions used in the modified provisions of Schedule 2. The new Part 2 provides for the interpretation of these modifications in respect of Jersey.
