Orders restricting further applications

Restriction on further applications under the Children Act 1989—s 91(14) orders

When the court disposes of any application for an order under the Children Act 1989 (ChA 1989) it may make an order under ChA 1989, s 91(14) ( a s 91(14) order), that no application for an order under that Act of any specified kind may be made with respect to the child concerned by any person named in the order without the leave of the court.

An order under ChA 1989, s 91(14) does not stop an application being made to the court but they are a protective filter made by the court, in the interests of children. The effect of a s 91(14) order is to restrict an applicant who would otherwise have an automatic entitlement to apply to the court for an order from being able to do so, without obtaining permission from the court.

A s 91(14) order may be made in relation to both private law and public law proceedings.
