MR. T. AMOS QC (instructed by Kingsley Napley) appeared on behalf of the Petitioner. MR. I. COOK (instructed by Jones Nickolds) appeared on behalf of the Respondent. ____________________
Mr. Amos, although there may need to be a certain amount (and it could be quite considerable) of refinement having regard to the contribution that will inevitably be made by Mr. Cook.
"The terms of Article 1113 of the new Code of Civil Procedure provide that 'Within three months from the pronouncement of the order only the spouse who has presented the initial application may file for the divorce. In the event of reconciliation of the spouses, or if the proceedings have not been instituted within 30 months from the pronouncement of the order, all its provisions will be null and void, including the authorisation to institute the proceedings.'"
"[The Husband], having filed a petition for separation, cannot therefore alter his initial petition. If he wishes to divorce he must abandon the petition for separation and then file a divorce petition."
