This Act of Sederunt amends the Act of Sederunt (Challenges to Validity of EU Instruments (EU Exit) in the Court of Session) 2019 ( S.S.I. 2019/328 ) and the Act of Sederunt (Challenges to Validity of EU Instruments (EU Exit) in the Sheriff Appeal Court and Sheriff Court) 2019 ( S.S.I. 2019/329 ) (“the two Principal Instruments”).

The two Principal Instruments come into force on IP completion day by the operation of paragraph 1 of Schedule 5 of the European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Act 2020 (c.1) (“the Act”). This Act of Sederunt comes into force immediately before IP completion day.

Paragraphs 2 and 3 amend the two Principal Instruments by substituting “IP completion day” for “exit day” in consequence of the Act and the amendments made to the Challenges to Validity of EU Instruments (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 ( S.I. 2019/673 ) by the Challenges to Validity of EU Instruments (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 ( S.I. 2020/1503 ).
