Building (Scotland) Act 2003

5 When the appointment of a verifier (the “former verifier”) terminates, for whatever reason, the Scottish Ministers must direct another verifier (the “successor verifier”) to deal with—

(a) any application made to the former verifier under section 9 for a building warrant or an amendment to a building warrant, so far as undetermined at the time when the appointment terminated,

(b) any completion certificate submitted to the former verifier and not accepted or rejected under section 18 at the time when the appointment terminated, and

(c) any completion certificate submitted after the time when the appointment terminated and relating to work or a conversion in respect of which a building warrant was granted by the former verifier;

and from the date of the direction references in this Act or subordinate legislation made under it to the verifier are to be read as references to the successor verifier.
