Civil Partnership (Scotland) Act 2020

Introduction.

58.The position, prior to section 1 of the Act coming into force, is that civil partnership is only available to same sex couples. As a result, the law has prevented one partner in a civil partnership from changing gender because that would result in an impermissible different sex civil partnership. Schedule 2 of the Act modifies the following enactments to allow for the fact that, once section 1 comes into force, a civil partnership will be able to continue when the partners are no longer the same gender:

  • the Gender Recognition Act 2004,

  • the Civil Partnership Act 2004,

  • the Marriage and Civil Partnership (Scotland) Act 2014.
