Crown application
11.Section 20 of the Interpretation and Legislative Reform (Scotland) Act 2010(1) provides that the Crown will be bound by an Act of the Scottish Parliament or Scottish statutory instrument unless the provision expressly exempts it. So, technically, this Act applies to the Crown in the same way as it applies to everyone else. But the Act’s substantive provisions mainly amend a number of existing enactments, some of which do, and some of which do not, apply to the Crown. The Act makes no change to the application of those enactments to the Crown.
