5Delegation agreementsS
This section has no associated Explanatory Notes
(1)The manager of a Scottish Crown Estate asset (other than the Scottish Ministers) may delegate the function of managing the asset only if directed to do so by the Scottish Ministers under section 4(1).
(2)Where the Scottish Ministers are the manager of a Scottish Crown Estate asset, they may delegate the function of managing the asset to—
(a)Crown Estate Scotland,
(b)a local authority,
(c)another Scottish public authority with mixed functions or no reserved functions (within the meaning of the Scotland Act 1998),
(d)a Scottish harbour authority,
(e)a community organisation.
(3)Delegation of the function of managing a Scottish Crown Estate asset is to be given effect to by an agreement in writing between the manager of the asset and the person to whom the function is to be delegated.
(4)That agreement must set out the period for which, and other terms and conditions on which, the function is delegated.
(5)The terms and conditions may, in particular, provide for—
