EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order brings into force provisions of the Bankruptcy and Debt Advice (Scotland) Act 2014 (“the 2014 Act”).

It commences from 30th June 2014 the provisions of the 2014 Act set out in the Schedule to this Order to allow subordinate legislation to be made under the Bankruptcy (Scotland) Act 1985, and the Debt Arrangement and Attachment (Scotland) Act 2002 (section 53 and paragraph 38 of schedule 3). It also commences from that date section 44 of the 2014 Act on representation of the Accountant in Bankruptcy in the Sheriff Court.

Article 3 makes saving provision for the avoidance of doubt so it is clear there is no effect on the operation of the debt arrangement scheme under Part 1 of the Debt Arrangement and Attachment (Scotland) Act 2002 before new regulations are made to amend that scheme.

The 2014 Act received Royal Assent on 29th April 2014. Sections 54, 55, 57 and 58 came into force on the day after Royal Assent.
