Commentary on Sections Schedule 27 - Minor and consequential amendments Paragraph 8 - Judicial Proceedings (Regulation of Reports) Act 1926 (c. 61)
922.Paragraph 8 amends section 1 of the Judicial Proceedings (Regulation of Reports) Act 1926 to ensure that proceedings relating to the dissolution, annulment or separation of civil partners are subject to the same reporting restrictions as apply in relation to proceedings for divorce, nullity or judicial separation in relation to a marriage. The paragraph also removes references to proceedings for restitution of conjugal rights, which are obsolete. The remedy of restitution of conjugal rights was repealed by the Matrimonial and Property Act 1970.
