This commentary identifies a flaw created by the amendment of the Damages (Scotland) Act 1976 made by s.35 of the Family Law (Scotland) Act 2006 which removed relationships of affinity from the category of relatives entitled to sue for wrongful death, but did not allow such relatives to make a claim based on being accepted as a member of the family. It calls for imaginative judicial interpretation, which was subsequently provided in Mykoliw v Botterill 2010 SLT 1219.
Keywords: Damages (Scotland) Act 1976, Immediate family, Step-parents, Relationships of affinity, European Convention on Human Rights
