Family law — divorce — award of maintenance following — existing order for maintenance granted by magistrates court — whether such order must be discharged before High Court may award maintenance — Matrimonial Causes Act 1985 — s 7.
There is no rule of law that, where a magistrates court has made an order for maintenance, the High Court is precluded from making a further order until the order of the magistrates court has been discharged. The Matrimonial Causes Act 1985 specifically empowers the High Court to make orders for maintenance following divorce. If the court does so, its order supplants the order made by the magistrates court, which would be from that time discharged.
