6.—(1) This regulation applies in relation to maintenance obligations and requests, other than those to which regulation 4 applies, where—
(a)payments fall due;
(b)an application, or request for specific measures, is received by the relevant Central Authority in the United Kingdom; or
(c)a direct request is received by the relevant competent authority in the United Kingdom,
on or after exit day, but before the 2007 Hague Convention again enters into force for the United Kingdom.
(2) The section 4 rights have effect as if—
(a)the United Kingdom were a State bound by the 2007 Hague Convention on and after exit day, and
(b)Article 51(4) operated accordingly (and not as if the United Kingdom were also a member State).
(3) Notwithstanding the effect that Articles 48 to 50 and 51(1) to (3) would produce if the United Kingdom were a State bound by the 2007 Hague Convention, the section 4 rights do not have effect as regards the maintenance obligation or request if and to the extent that their having effect would conflict with a treaty obligation of the United Kingdom.
