Revised precedent section 54 and section 28 declaration

Practitioners should note that the committee has recently revised its precedent section 54 declaration (part of its suite of precedent family law declarations used in conveyancing). The new precedent is a composite declaration covering section 54 of the Family Law Act 1995 and section 28 of the Civil Partnership and Certain Rights and Obligations of Cohabitants Act 2010. The revised version is now available in the members’ area of the Law Society’s website. It can be accessed through either the Conveyancing Committee’s page (click on precedents when in the committee’s home page) or in the general precedents area.
