From 1 August 1979 onwards, those old rules about legal costs in family law cases no longer had any effect.\n\n**Who it affects:**\nPeople involved in family law cases (such as divorce or parenting disputes) who would have been subject to the 1976 rules about how legal costs are calculated and awarded.\n\n**Why it matters:**\nIt removes a specific set of procedural rules, meaning legal costs in family law matters would instead be handled under the general Family Law Act 1975 or court rules rather than these specific regulations."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/family-law-costs-regulations-repeal","history":"/api/acts/family-law-costs-regulations-repeal/history","analysis":"/api/acts/family-law-costs-regulations-repeal/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/family-law-costs-regulations-repeal/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/family-law-costs-regulations-repeal/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/family-law-costs-regulations-repeal/documents"}}
