Scottish Crown Estate Act 2019 Explanatory Notes

Part 1 – Crown Estate Scotland

6.Crown Estate Scotland (Interim Management) was established by the Estate Scotland (Interim Management) Order 2017 (“the Crown Estate Scotland Order”). Section 1 of the Act changes the name of Crown Estate Scotland (Interim Management) to "Crown Estate Scotland”. Section 1 also introduces schedule 1, which amends references to the body in various enactments in consequence of this change in name. Section 45(1) of the Act defines the “Crown Estate Scotland Order” as meaning the Crown Estate Scotland Order 2017 (S.S.I. 2017/36). That instrument is currently entitled the “Crown Estate Scotland (Interim Management) Order 2017” but is renamed by paragraph 11(2) of schedule 1 of the Act in consequence of the change in the name of Crown Estate Scotland. These notes refer to the body as “Crown Estate Scotland” for consistency with the provisions of the Act.
