(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Scottish Secure Tenancies (Proceedings for Possession) (Form of Notice) Regulations 2012 (“the 2012 Regulations”) to reflect the terms of section 16(2)(aa) of the Housing Scotland Act 2001 (which was inserted by section 14(2)(a) of the Housing (Scotland) Act 2014) which means that the court no longer has to consider whether it is reasonable to make an order for eviction in cases where the landlord has a ground for recovery of possession set out in paragraph 2 of schedule 1 to the 2001 Act and the notice in the form of the 2012 Regulations is served within 12 months of the tenant’s conviction or dismissal or abandonment of any appeal.
