new child support judgment
Tue 06-Apr-10 11:41 AM

whilst not routinely publishing child support court judgments to the news area ... here's a link to a recent case that may be of interest ...

Child Maintenance and Enforcement Commission v Mitchell (2010) EWCA Civ 333 (30 March 2010)

relates to whether the limitation Act 1980 - that provides 'An action to recover any sum recoverable by virtue of any enactment shall not be brought after the expiration of six years from the date on which the cause of action accrued' - applies in the case of the Child Support Agency/C-MEC taking action under section 39(a) of the Child Support Act 1991 for commital or disqualification from driving, where more than 6 years had passed since it had obtained a liability order against the absent parent

(Department's appeal allowed ...)
