This Order makes amendments to subordinate legislation as a consequence of the coming into force of the majority of the provisions of the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act 2013 (c. 30) (“the Act”). The Order also makes consequential amendments to subordinate legislation which should have been made as part of the implementation of the Civil Partnership Act 2004 (c. 33). The Order corrects these omissions. The Order comes into force on 13th March 2014. A separate Order (the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act 2013 (Consequential and Contrary Provisions and Scotland) Order 2014) making consequential amendments to primary legislation, as well as other provision, is also coming into force on the same day as this Order.
