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 (now removed)"

This schedule was about rules for dealing with classified security information in court. It covered things like how the court could access this information and what special steps they needed to take to keep it safe.

The schedule also talked about special lawyers called 'special advocates' who could help with cases involving classified information. These special advocates had rules about how they could talk to other people and what they could do with the information.

However, all of these rules have been removed from the law. On 28 November 2023, the whole schedule was taken out of the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015. This means that these special rules for classified security information no longer apply.
