Commentary on Sections Part 5 – Civil partnerships formed or dissolved abroad etc.Introduction Chapter 3 - Dissolution etc.: jurisdiction and recognition Section 238: Non-recognition elsewhere of dissolution or annulment
468.Under this section, when a court in any part of the United Kingdom has granted a dissolution or annulment of a civil partnership, or a dissolution or annulment has been recognised as valid by virtue of this chapter, the fact that the dissolution or annulment would not be recognised outside the United Kingdom does not prevent either party from entering a later marriage or civil partnership in that part of the United Kingdom or make the later marriage or civil partnership invalid in that part.
