Kennedy and Another v The Lord Advocate: SCS 5 Feb 2008

These petitions were raised by the relatives of two people, who died after they had become infected with the Hepatitis C virus. That infection occurred whilst they were under the care of the National Health Service in Scotland. The Lord Advocate refused to hold Fatal Accident Inquiries into the deaths of the deceased. The petitioners seek the judicial review of those decisions. The petitioners also seek review of the refusal of the Scottish Ministers to set up public inquiries into those deaths.
