Schedules Schedule 10: Civil actions to which the 2008 Mediation Directive applies Part 2 - Scotland: Inquiries and Investigations Inquiries into Fatal Accidents and Sudden Deaths etc. (Scotland) Act 2016
Paragraph 3 inserts new section 7 and new Schedule A1 into the Fatal Accidents and Sudden Deaths etc. (Scotland) Act 2016. New Schedule A1 makes provision about inquiries and investigations into Troubles-related deaths.
	New Schedule A1, paragraph 1 applies to an inquiry into a Troubles-related death that was initiated before 1 May 2024 unless the only part of the investigation that remains to be carried out is the sheriff making the determination required by section 26 of the 2016 Act, or some step subsequent to that. On and after this date the sheriff must not progress the conduct of the inquiry and, as soon as is practical, the sheriff must discontinue the inquiry.
