In considering any petition for dissolution of a marriage, or civil partnership, the Court may treat any subsisting decree of judicial separation in respect of that marriage, or civil partnership, as sufficient proof of the grounds upon which such decree was granted, but the Court shall not pronounce a decree of dissolution of such marriage, or civil partnership, without receiving evidence from the petitioner.
