The deed dated 10 August 1994 was entered into under s 21 of the Property (Relationships) Act 1976 and is a relationship property agreement in its entirety; s 182(6) of the Family Proceedings Act 1980 therefore provides a jurisdictional bar to varying clause 3 because any change to that maintenance provision would defeat or vary the s 21 agreement; even if jurisdiction existed, remarriage did not constitute a significant change of circumstances warranting variation and there was no other basis to rewrite the bargain.
