EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations bring the Apologies (Scotland) Act 2016 (“the Act”) into force in so far as not already in force.
Regulation 2(1) brings into force on 22nd September 2016 the regulation making power in section 2(4) to (6) of the Act in order to allow regulations to be made prior to the coming into force of the remainder of the Act.
Regulation 2(2) brings the remainder of the Act into force on 19th December 2016.
Regulation 3 makes transitory provision to ensure that the Act does not apply to fatal accident inquiries that are held under the existing law. Section 2(1)(c) of the Act provides that the Act does not apply to inquiries under the Inquiries into Fatal Accidents and Sudden Deaths etc. (Scotland) Act 2016 (“the 2016 Act”). The 2016 Act will repeal the Fatal Accidents and Sudden Deaths Inquiry (Scotland) Act 1976 (“the 1976 Act”) and enact new provisions to govern the system of fatal accident inquiries in Scotland. As the 2016 Act is not yet fully in force, regulation 3 provides for the exception in section 2(1)(c) of the Act to cover inquiries under the 1976 Act.
The Bill for the Act received Royal Assent on 23rd February 2016. Sections 5 and 6 came into force on the following day.
