Section 60 - Mobile homes: jurisdiction of the First-tier Tribunal for Scotland

168.This section modifies section 4 of the Mobile Homes Act 1983 (“the 1983 Act”) to provide that the Tribunal has jurisdiction (instead of the sheriff or, where the parties have agreed, the arbiter) to determine any question arising under that Act or any agreement to which it applies, and to entertain any proceedings brought under that Act or any such agreement (see subsection (5)). It also makes consequential changes to the title of section 4 and to sections 1, 2, 2B and 5 and schedule 1 of the 1983 Act.
