Section 12

An applicant has the same right of appeal (if any) against a refusal by a court in Singapore to make a provisional order under any provision of this Act as the applicant would have had against a refusal to make the order had a summons been duly served on the person against whom the order is sought to be made.

Where pursuant to any such provision any such court confirms or refuses to confirm a provisional order made by a court in a reciprocating country, whether a maintenance order or an order varying or revoking a maintenance order, the payer or payee under the maintenance order has the like right of appeal (if any) from the confirmation of, or refusal to confirm, the provisional order as the payer or payee would have if that order were not a provisional order and the court which confirmed or refused to confirm it had (as the case may be) made or refused to make it.

Where pursuant to any such provision any such court makes, or refuses to make, an order varying or revoking a maintenance order made by a court in a reciprocating country, then, subject to subsection (1), the payer or payee under the maintenance order has the like right of appeal (if any) from that order or from the refusal to make it as the payer or payee would have had if the maintenance order had been made by the firstmentioned court.

Nothing in this section (except subsection (1)) is to be construed as affecting any right of appeal conferred by any other written law.
