(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Bankruptcy Fees (Scotland) Regulations 1993 (“the principal Regulations”) to prescribe amended fees payable to the Accountant in Bankruptcy in respect of the exercise of the Accountant in Bankruptcy’s functions under the Bankruptcy (Scotland) Act 1985.

The change in the amount of the fees prescribed in the principal Regulations is illustrated in column 3 of the Table of Fees set out in the Schedule.

The Regulations also make a minor amendment to the definitions in the principal Regulations, and minor clarifications to function 4 in Part I and function 21 in Part II of the Schedule. They also revoke amendments superseded by these Regulations.
