You must login to download the contents of this EFIS.

In accordance with Practice Direction 3A, the Ministry of Justice (MOJ) has amended FM1 to enable applicants to provide evidence of domestic violence going back 60 months instead of 24 months which brings FM1 into line with similar changes to the legal aid and civil procedure regulations. The MOJ has also amended form DIV_A1 to enable applicants who seek exemption from a Family Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting (MIAM) to provide evidence of domestic violence dating back 60 months instead of the current period of 24 months.

The MOJ has also amended C100 and C110A to enable applicants to request the use of Welsh in proceedings and clarify requests for an interpreter who can speak and understand the relevant language.

Subscribers to this range should use the latest versions of C100, C110A, DIV_A1 and FM1 for applications made on and after 3rd October.
