A party to a foreign divorce or nullity of marriage who wishes to make an application for any CCCA order or FR order must first obtain the permission of the Court in accordance with rules made under section 145 to make that application.

The Court is not to grant permission unless it considers that there is substantial ground for making an application for the CCCA order or FR order.
