Commentary on Sections Schedule 5 – Financial relief in the High Court or a county court etc. Part 12 - Arrears and repayments
572.This Part deals with arrears and repayments and provides that arrears cannot be enforced without the leave of the court. In certain circumstances the court may order repayment of a sum which ought not to have been paid. For example, if a periodical payments order has ceased to have effect because the recipient has married or formed a new civil partnership the court may order the repayment of any money overpaid by mistake.
