This Practice Note explains how to apply for a decree nisi in proceedings for nullity (application for a matrimonial order) where the application was issued before 6 April 2022 and identifies the court forms needed. It also explains the procedure for applying to set aside a certificate of entitlement and rescinding a decree nisi and when a rehearing is appropriate On 6 April 2022, the provisions of the Divorce, Dissolution and Separation Act 2020 (DDSA 2020), came into effect. Although DDSA 2020 does not make substantive changes to the law regarding nullity proceedings, there are some consequential changes to the procedure under the amended Family Procedure Rules 2010 (FPR 2010), SI 2010/2955 affecting applications for nullity and nullity of marriage orders that are issued on or after 6 April 2022. The changes relate primarily to changes to terminology, updated forms and changes to provisions regarding service. For nullity proceedings issued on or after 6 April 2020, see Practice Notes: Commencing and filing nullity proceedings (post-DDSA 2020), Standard cases—nullity proceedings (post-DDSA 2020) and Disputed nullity

The procedure for the hearing of an application for access to the information and material used to obtain a search warrant or comparable order, where the investigator wants the court to withhold that information, is governed by Criminal Procedure Rules 2025 (CrimPR 2025), SI 2025/909, rr 5.7–5.10. These rules have been amended to codify the decision in Metropolitan Police Commissioner v Bangs, which is analysed in this Practice Note. Does a magistrate have jurisdiction to hear an application? Following Eastenders Cash and Carry v South Western Magistrates Court a magistrate would be correct to adopt the starting point that a claimant was entitled to see the information which persuaded the court to issue a search warrant unless the public interest requires that some or all of the material relied upon should not be disclosed. When a court is considering an application for a search warrant and exercises its statutory power to grant one, the court is under a duty to provide its reasons for doing so in public

It also explains how to search the central index of decree absolutes. DDSA 2020 came into force on 6 April 2022.

Arbitration analysis: Faced with an application for payment of the proceeds of a sale of cargo into a blocked account with a US financial institution, the judge ordered payment into court. Sir Nigel Teare decided that there was no real risk of the claimant being prosecuted for breaching sanctions by making a payment into court and a payment into court was more likely to give effect to the arbitration than a payment to a blocked account held at a US financial institution. Written by Jennifer Haywood, arbitrator, mediator and barrister at Serle Court.
