Part 8 and New Zealand's adoption of UNCRAM provide procedural mechanisms to facilitate recovery of maintenance but do not impliedly exclude the High Court's established common-law jurisdiction to enforce a foreign money judgment for maintenance arrears; the Mexican judgment met the common-law prerequisites and was therefore enforceable; appeal dismissed.
