238
1
This section applies where, in any part of the United Kingdom—
a
a dissolution or annulment of a civil partnership has been granted by a court of civil jurisdiction, or
b
the validity of a dissolution or annulment of a civil partnership is recognised by virtue of this Chapter.
2
The fact that the dissolution or annulment would not be recognised outside the United Kingdom does not—
a
preclude either party from forming a subsequent civil partnership or marriage in that part of the United Kingdom, or
b
cause the subsequent civil partnership or marriage of either party (wherever it takes place) to be treated as invalid in that part.
