30.—(1) In this rule, “the FPR” means the Family Procedure Rules 2010.

(2) In any case where a court has, before the date on which these Rules come into force, extended the period within which an application for a section 89 order (within the meaning given in the FPR) can be made, the FPR will apply as if rule 4 of these Rules had not been made.

(3) The FPR as amended by rules 3(b), 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19(b), 23, 24, 25, 27, 28 and 29 of these Rules shall apply so far as is practicable to a given case which was commenced but not disposed of before these Rules came into force.

(4) Where by reason of paragraph (3) the FPR as amended by these Rules do not apply to a given case, the FPR shall apply to that case as if rule 3(b), 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19(b), 23, 24, 25, 27, 28 or 29, as applicable, of these Rules had not been made.
