EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend certain primary and subordinate legislation to make provisions incidental to provision made by the Tribunals (Scotland) Act 2014 in relation to the operation of the First-tier Tribunal for Scotland Housing and Property Chamber (“the Tribunal”).

Regulations 2 to 6 amend—

  • the Debtors (Scotland) Act 1987 to permit the Tribunal to make time to pay directions, which previously were made only by the sheriff,

  • the Assured Tenancies (Notice to Quit Prescribed Information) (Scotland) Regulations 1988 to make reference to the Tribunal instead of the sheriff,

  • the Housing (Scotland) Act 1988 to refer to case management discussions as well as hearings,

  • the Removing from Heritable Property (Form of Charge) (Scotland) Regulations 2011 so that those Regulations apply to enforcement in relation to the Tribunal as well as in relation to the sheriff court, and

  • the Bankruptcy and Diligence etc. (Scotland) Act 2007 so that the provisions apply to enforcement in relation to the Tribunal as well as in relation to the sheriff court.

No business and regulatory impact assessment has been prepared for these Regulations as no impact on businesses, charities or voluntary bodies is foreseen.
