A decree of judicial separation may be pronounced by the Court in respect of any marriage, or civil partnership, at any time after its celebration upon any ground upon which a decree of dissolution could be granted under paragraphs (a) to (e) of section 10(1) if the Court, after inquiring so far as it can into the facts of the case, is satisfied that such grounds have been established, having regard, where appropriate, to paragraph (a) and subparagraphs(i) and (iii) of paragraph (b) of section 10(2) and without regard to any time limit imposed under paragraph (c), (d) or (e) of subsection (1) of that section.
The Court may, on the application of either party and with the consent of the other party in respect of a marriage, or civil partnership, in which a decree of judicial separation has been pronounced, reverse such decree.
