I move amendment No. 5:

In page 31, to delete lines 13 to 20 and substitute the following: “(4) In performing a function under subsection (1) or (3), the Principal Judge of the Family Circuit Court shall—

(a) consult with the Family Courts Practice and Procedure Committee, and

(b) ensure, in so far as is practicable, having regard to the nature and type of proceedings before the Family Circuit Court, that there is no conflict between the practice direction to be issued and practice directions that have been issued or, as the case may be, are to be issued by the Principal Judge of the Family High Court under section 13 and the Principal Judge of the Family District Court under section 42.”.
