Applicable law S

3 (1) The law applicable to anything done under this Act by a Scottish judicial or administrative authority in relation to an adult is the law of Scotland.

(2) Sub-paragraph (1) does not prevent a Scottish judicial or administrative authority from applying the law of a country other than Scotland if, in circumstances which demonstrate a substantial connection with that other country and having regard to the interests of the adult, it appears appropriate to do so.

(3) Such an authority shall, however, in the exercise of the powers conferred by section 18 of this Act, take into consideration to the extent possible the law which, as provided in paragraph 4, governs the power of attorney.

(4) Where a measure for the protection of an adult has been taken in one State and is implemented in another, the conditions of its implementation are governed by the law of that other State.

(5) Any question whether a person has authority by virtue of any enactment or rule of law to represent an adult shall be governed—

(a) where such representation is for the purposes of the immediate personal welfare of the adult and the adult is in Scotland, by the law of Scotland; and

(b) in any other case, by the law of the country in which the adult is habitually resident.

4 (1) The law governing the existence, extent, modification and extinction of continuing or welfare powers of attorney (including like powers, however described) shall be that of the State in which the granter habitually resided at the time of the grant of these powers. S

(2) Where, however, the granter of such a power of attorney so provides in writing, the law so applicable shall instead be the law of a State—

(a) of which the granter is a national;

(b) in which the granter was habitually resident before the grant; or

(c) in which the property of the granter is located.

(3) The manner of exercise of such a power shall be governed by the law of the State in which its exercise takes place.

(4) The law of a State may be applied under sub-paragraph (2)(c) above only in respect of the property referred to in that provision.

(5) Nothing in sub-paragraphs (1) and (2) prevents the sheriff from exercising powers under section 20 of this Act if a power of attorney is not being exercised so as to safeguard the welfare or property of the granter.

(6) It is not an objection to the validity of any contract or other transaction between a person acting or purporting to act as the representative of an adult and any other person that the person so acting or purporting to act was not entitled so to act under the law of a country other than the country where the contract or other transaction was concluded.

(7) Sub-paragraph (6) does not, however, apply where the other person knew or ought to have known that the entitlement so to act of the person acting or purporting to act as representative was governed by the law of that other country.

(8) Sub-paragraph (6) applies only if the persons entering into the contract or other transaction were, when they did so, both (or all) in the same country.

5 S Nothing in this schedule displaces any enactment or rule of law which has mandatory effect for the protection of an adult with incapacity in Scotland whatever law would otherwise be applicable.

6 S Nothing in this schedule requires or enables the application in Scotland of any provision of the law of a country other than Scotland so as to produce a result which would be manifestly contrary to public policy.

Recognition and enforcement S

7 (1) Any measure taken under the law of a country other than Scotland for the personal welfare or the protection of property of an adult with incapacity shall, if one of the conditions specified in sub-paragraph (2) is met, be recognised by the law of Scotland.

(2) These conditions are—

(a) that the jurisdiction of the authority of the other country was based on the adult’s habitual residence there;

(b) that the United Kingdom and the other country were, when the measure was taken, parties to the Convention and the jurisdiction of the authority of the other country was based on a ground of jurisdiction provided for in the Convention.

(3) Recognition of a measure may, however, be refused—

(a) if, except in a case of urgency—

(i) the authority which took it did so without the adult to whom it related being given an opportunity to be heard; and

(ii) these circumstances constituted a breach of natural justice;

(b) if it would be manifestly contrary to public policy to recognise the measure;

(c) if the measure conflicts with any enactment or rule of law of Scotland which is mandatory whatever law would otherwise be applicable;

(d) if the measure is incompatible with a later measure taken in Scotland or recognised by the law of Scotland;

(e) if the measure would have the effect of placing the adult in an establishment in Scotland and—

(i) the Scottish Central Authority has not previously been provided with a report on the adult and a statement of the reasons for the proposed placement and has not been consulted on the proposed placement; or

(ii) where the Authority has been provided with such a report and statement and so consulted, it has, within a reasonable time thereafter, declared that it disapproves of the proposed placement.
