ROYAL COURT OF JERSEY

FD 12/03

OMISSION OF INFORMATION FROM PETITION/CAUSE APPLICATION

         Where it is desired to omit from a petition/cause application any information required to be contained therein by Rule 5 of the Matrimonial Causes 2005 or Rule 5 of the Civil Partners Causes Rules 2012, and particularly, where necessary for the protection of a petitioner, to omit the petitioner's place of residence, the petition should be filed without such information, but before service is effected an ex parte application must be made to the Greffier for leave for the petition to stand. If leave is refused the Greffier will make an order requiring the petition to be amended.

         The Greffier may require an affidavit in support of the application to be filed.

         Where leave for the omission of a petitioner's place of residence is granted, care should be taken that the effect of the order is not nullified by information included in other documents.
