The court form prescribed financial statement is used to set out each party's relevant financial and other circumstances when a financial application has been made. Both parties are required to simultaneously exchange with each other, and file at court, a statement of their financial circumstances not less than 35 days before the first appointment, unless the application is under the fast-track procedure where a shorter time period applies, see Practice Note: Fast-track (shortened) financial remedy procedure. Specified documents are attached to the financial statement. Whether Form E, Form E1 or Form E2 is used will depend on the type of proceedings that are being brought. The Form E is a comprehensive financial statement that is usually the most detailed document completed by the parties and arguably the single most important document in an application for a financial order. For further guidance see Practice Note: Preparation of Form E. Forms E1 and E2 are more limited

This Practice Note provides guidance on choosing the most appropriate form of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) to resolve a civil dispute. It should be read in conjunction with Practice Note: What is ADR?, which considers the main types of ADR and their similarities and differences. For information on the parties’ obligations to consider ADR and the courts’ powers with respect to ordering or encouraging the parties to consider ADR, both before and during any litigation, see Practice Note: Court powers to order or encourage ADR in civil proceedings. Forms of ADR Mediation is one of the most commonly recognised and used forms of ADR process but it may not be the most effective for every dispute. If the parties wish to consider ADR, or it is ordered by the court, the parties have control over which form of ADR they use, subject to any contractual requirement if the dispute arises out of a contract or to any order made by the court. They can agree to try whichever process they think will work best for their dispute

An equitable charge should be registered as a land charge under class c (iii). Notice and priority depend on the order of registration.

For the purposes of this Q&A, we have assumed that this relates to the forfeiture of a lease of commercial premises, with no occupied residential parts. If a right of re-entry (or forfeiture) is reserved in a lease for a particular breach of covenant, the landlord may take steps to forfeit the lease once that right to forfeit has accrued, provided that the right is not waived. A right to forfeit in respect of non-payment of rent will generally arise after rent remains unpaid for

The making of an adoption order extinguishes the parental responsibility of all other persons as well as any orders made under the Children Act 1989. By ACA 2002, s 46(6) the court must, before the making of an adoption order, consider whether contact arrangements with any person should be put in place, and must consider any existing or proposed arrangements and obtain any views of the parties

In any case where the court has power to make a non-molestation order, the court may accept an undertaking from any party to proceedings (section 46(1) of the Family Law Act 1996 (FLA 1996)). However, the court shall not accept undertakings instead of making a non-molestation order where it appears to the court that the respondent has used or threatened violence against the applicant or relevant child and it is necessary to make an order for their protection so that any breach is punishable by criminal offence (FLA 1996, s 46(3A)). Disobedience of a directive

A price variation clause in a contract is often included where the parties wish to cover inflation risk in respect of a price contained within the contract. Such clauses are also commonly used in cases where there are periodical payments such as financial remedy orders. A price variation clause will consist of the base price for the goods or services covered by the contract, the index to which the variation is linked, and an applicable date or period against which the index is applied to the base price. An index measures changes in average price levels and is therefore useful as a tool to keep the price paid under the contract at the same level relative to inflation. Most indices utilise a sample study of a list of typical items purchased by households, with weighting applied to reflect the importance of the type of good. It is a matter of commercial negotiation which index is applied to a price variation clause. Inflation is measured by the Office for
