Dissolution, separation and nullity

Dissolution and separation

Dissolution following on decree of separation
121
1
The court may grant decree in an action for the dissolution of a civil partnership even though decree of separation has previously been granted to the pursuer on the same, or substantially the same, facts as those averred in support of that action; and in any such action the court may treat an extract decree of separation lodged in process as sufficient proof of the facts under which that decree was granted.
2
Nothing in this section entitles a court to grant decree of dissolution of a civil partnership without receiving evidence from the pursuer.
