Family Procedure Rules 2010 Practice Direction Update No 2 of 2025
The Family Procedure Rules 2010 (FPR 2010) Practice Direction Update No 2 of 2025 has been issued and makes amendments to FPR 2010, PD 36ZA and inserts a new Practice Direction, FPR 2010, PD 36ZI. The new Practice Direction FPR 2010, PD 36ZI supplements FPR 2010, SI 2010/2955, r 36.2 (Transitional Arrangements and Pilot Schemes) to underpin a pilot scheme for notification to the police when a relevant non-molestation order is made or varied or extended by the court, under a new procedure to notify the police by automated electronic means or by email once a relevant non molestation order is made. The amendments made to FPR 2010, PD 36ZA remove the provisions providing for the court to notify the police of non-molestation orders, or variation or discharge of non-molestation orders, and of service of such orders from its scope in the North Yorkshire Pilot. Notifications of relevant non molestation orders where made will instead be subsumed by the national solution provided by the pilot in FPR 2010, PD 36ZI.
