Redress For Survivors (Historical Child Abuse In Care) (Scotland) Act 2021 - waiver, contributions and other routes to redress: statutory guidance – updated August 2024

Retrospective removal of an organisation from the scheme contributor list

12. If an organisation fails to meet its obligations to contribute financially to the scheme, then consideration will be given to removing it from the scheme contributor list in accordance with section 16 of the Act. This may be with retrospective effect if the organisation has not made payments to support all redress payments relevant to it. Where this occurs, if an applicant has previously accepted a redress payment and signed a waiver which that organisation failed to fund, that waiver may be revoked in respect of that organisation and the applicant's right to raise relevant civil proceedings against that organisation will be reinstated.
