Is it in force?

[courtseal]

I wish to have access to Halsbury's "Is it in force?", or LexisLibrary, or Westlaw. Any suggestions?

You could try a good reference library. The government legislation site is usually fairly reliable.

Are you looking for anything in particular?

I'm interested in section 42A of the Family Law Act 1996 ("Offence of breaching non-molestation order").
Also, sections 113A and 113B of the Police Act 1997 ("Criminal record certificates"/"Enhanced criminal record certificates")(England and Wales).
Unfortunately, the reference section of Birmingham central library is unable to assist.

I think that section 42A of the Family Law Act 1996 is not in force. The section would be inserted by section 1 of the Domestic Violence, Crime and Victims Act 2004. S. 1 DVCVA 2004 would be commenced by the Domestic Violence, Crime and Victims Act 2004 (Commencement No. 9 and Transitional Provisions) Order 2007. However, the order has an error in its introductory text. I'd be interested to know what others think.
