Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order revokes and replaces (as regards Scotland) the Child Support Appeals (Jurisdiction of Courts) Order 1993, which provides for child support appeals to be made to a court instead of to an appeal tribunal where the issue in the appeal is parentage of the qualifying child in relation to whom an application for a maintenance calculation has been made under the Child Support Act 1991.

This Order is designed to take account of the changes made to section 20 of the Child Support Act 1991 (which deals with child support appeals) effected by section 10 of the Child Support, Pensions and Social Security Act 2000. This Order also makes provision for the application (with modifications) of regulations 31 and 32 of the Social Security and Child Support (Decision and Appeals) Regulations 1999 in relation to the appeals to which this Order applies. Article 8 of the Child Support Appeals (Jurisdiction of Courts) Order 1993 (which amended the Law Reform (Parent and Child) (Scotland) Act 1986 consequential on that Order) is re-enacted as article 7 of this Order with necessary amendment to reflect the terms of this Order.
