(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Allocation and Transfer of Proceedings Order 2008 so as to remove the jurisdiction of Nelson County Court as a family hearing centre. It does not deal with the devolution of the business of Nelson County Court but this is transferred to Burnley County Court by direction of the Lord Chancellor after consulting with the Lord Chief Justice. By virtue of a judicial direction, Burnley County Court will have jurisdiction in proceedings commenced in Nelson County Court before the coming into force of this Order.
