(1) Morrell (Appellant) v Morgan (Respondent) (2) Antoniou (Appellant) v Morgan (Respondent)
Issue: Where there was a dearth of authority concerning, first, the interrelationship between a court order for child maintenance made pursuant to a written agreement under the Child Support Act 1991 and a subsequent child maintenance calculation made by the Child Maintenance Service (CMS). Secondly, the interrelationship between a “top-up” child maintenance order, where the CMS has made a maximum assessment. The central question in each case was how the court’s jurisdiction to make and maintain such orders operates alongside the statutory child support scheme administered by the CMS.
