Which recorded acts can have their family relations register entry corrected, and who may apply to which family court for that correction?
General information · Not legal advice
Material to check
In a practice file of this kind, we read the report document on which the recorded act took effect, the register entry itself, and any paper fixing the register-based place of the person of the report case, since jurisdiction over that place decides which family court may give permission.
These are types of material to look for, not evidence already verified by PRO SE.
Where readings differ
One reading follows the conditions in order: the act is one whose effect arises from a report, it has been recorded in the register, its voidness is clear, and the applicant is the reporter or the person of the report case; the application for correction is made only with the permission of the family court with jurisdiction over the register-based place of the person of the report case.
Another reading notes that the provision on the family court's examination is applied to this case by reference, so what that examination must cover is not set out in this provision itself, and how a recorded act's voidness is shown to be clear is likewise left open.
Your judgment
When the voidness of the reported act is said to be clear, what in the file would show it to be so rather than merely arguable?
PRO SE does not make this decision or keep a case record on this public site.When to reconsider
We look at this again if the provision is amended to change who may apply or which family court has jurisdiction, or if a court decision explains what shows a recorded act's voidness to be clear.
