37. Consideration for revocation of maintenance orders (P. 3, r. 37)

For the purposes of section 5(9), the court in Singapore which made a maintenance order that is to be confirmed by a competent court in a reciprocating country must serve on the applicant on whose application the maintenance order was made a notice —

setting out the evidence received or taken (as the case may be) for the purpose of proceedings relating to the confirmation of the maintenance order;

informing the applicant that it appears to the court in Singapore that the maintenance order ought not to have been made; and

informing the applicant that if the applicant wishes to make representations with respect to the evidence set out in the notice, the applicant must send a written notice to the Registrar of the person’s intention to do so within 14 days after the date of the notice served under this paragraph, accompanied by any further evidence that the applicant wishes to adduce.

To avoid doubt, the evidence mentioned in paragraph (1)(a) includes a statement contained in a document mentioned in section 13(1)(a), (b) or (c).

Where the Registrar receives a written notice under paragraph (1)(c) from the applicant, the Registrar must fix a date for the hearing of further evidence.
