Health and Safety at Work Act 2015

Schedule 4: Provisions relating to classified security information

You could also call this:

“Rules for handling secret information in court cases (now removed)”

Schedule 4 of the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 was about how to handle classified security information in legal proceedings. This schedule had rules for things like appointing special advocates and protecting sensitive information in court.

However, on 28 November 2023, all the parts of this schedule were removed from the law. This means that the rules about classified security information that were in this schedule no longer apply.

The removal of this schedule was done by section 100 of the Security Information in Proceedings (Repeals and Amendments) Act 2022. This change affects how classified security information is dealt with in legal matters related to health and safety at work.
