An Order of the Family Proceedings Court
If the breach of the court Order continues or is not remedied, you can apply for enforcement of the Order. The process is governed by Article 112 of the Magistrates' Court Order 1981 and Rule 8 of the Magistrates’ Courts Rules 1984 - see Court rules.
To make an application for enforcement of an Order, you can ask the relevant court office to send you a template application which you can change to include the details of the Order that you want to have enforced. You should insert the case number and date of the Order you seek to enforce. This amended template becomes your application for a summons for contempt. You should file the required number of copies (usually 4) with the court and attach copy of the Order you seek to enforce and pay the service fee for the summons which is £14.
