(This note is not part of the Regulations.)
These Regulations specify 3rd March 2003 as the date prescribed for the purposes of Article 7(10)(a) of the Child Support (Northern Ireland) Order 1991 ("the Order") which precludes an application for child support maintenance in cases in respect of which there is in force a maintenance order made before that date.
Article 7(10)(a) of the Order, the enabling provision under which these Regulations are made, is amended by section 2(2) of the Child Support, Pensions and Social Security Act (Northern Ireland) 2000 ("the Act"). The Child Support, Pensions and Social Security (2000 Act) (Commencement No. 9) Order (Northern Ireland) 2003 (S.R. 2003 No. 53 (C. 4)) provides for the coming into operation of section 2(2) of the Act on 7th February 2003, for the purpose only of making regulations, and on 3rd March 2003, in so far as it is not already in operation, for the purpose of certain cases in accordance with Article 3 of that Order.
