Part 9 – Road Works

Scottish Road Works Commissioner: status and functions

Status of the Scottish Road Works Commissioner: section 109

459.The office of the Scottish Road Works Commissioner was established in October 2005 under section 16 of the Transport (Scotland) Act 2005 (“the 2005 Act”).

460.Where a person in Scotland holds a public office it is generally considered that the person does so in a separate capacity from that of the person as an individual. For example, where the person enters into a contract to employ staff or buy property, they are doing so as the office-holder and not in any personal capacity.

461.Section 109 of the Act amends section 16 of the 2005 Act to confirm that this is the case for the Scottish Road Works Commissioner. It is not regarded as a making change to the status of the Commissioner.
