19.—(1) No contravention by the Crown of these Regulations makes the Crown criminally liable but the High Court or, in Scotland, the Court of Session, may on the application of an enforcing authority declare unlawful any act or omission of the Crown which constitutes a contravention of these Regulations.
(2) Notwithstanding paragraph (1), these Regulations apply to persons in the public service of the Crown as they apply to other persons.
