Commentary on provisions of the Act Schedule: Minor and consequential amendments Part 2: Amendments to the Civil Partnership 2004
Paragraphs 36, 38 to 40, 41(a) and (b) and 42 omit sections of the Act which are no longer necessary or appropriate because they relate to evidence of facts of irretrievable breakdown which will no longer exist by virtue of the amendments in section 3 to section 44 of the Act.
	Paragraph 35 amends cross-references consequential on the amendments made in sections 3, 4 and 5 of the Act. Paragraphs 37 and 41(c) amend provisions of the Act for consistency with the amendments in sections 4, 5 and 6, such as changes to reflect the fact that applications for dissolution orders can now be made jointly.
