Tied Pubs (Scotland) Act 2021 Explanatory Notes

Requirement to comply with adjudicator’s directions following an investigation

63.Paragraph 2 states that the code must require pub-owning businesses to comply with any directions given to them by the adjudicator following an investigation (see discussion of section 9).

64.As a result, a failure to comply with such a direction would be a failure to comply with the code and would therefore be subject to investigation and potentially sanction by the adjudicator (see discussion of sections 8 and 9).
