214.This section enables the Scottish Ministers, by regulations, to confer such additional powers on the Scottish Tribunals as are necessary or expedient for the proper exercise of their functions. Such regulations may provide for the application of rules of court made by the Court of Session by act of sederunt in relation to the Scottish Tribunals. In so doing, the regulations may make provision so that the process for making the act of sederunt should follow the procedure for making Tribunal Rules (see section 68(4)). The Lord President’s approval is required before making any such regulations.
