Compensation for loss of crops

The Scottish Ministers are required to make regulations about determining liability for, and the amount of, compensation (subsection (3) and (4)). Before these regulations are made the Scottish Ministers must consult with local authorities and any other person with an interest (subsection (5)). A tenant has a right of appeal to the sheriff against a local authority decision in respect of compensation for loss of crops (subsection (6)).
