Part 2 – Applications for Assistance

Section 3: Repeal of section 52B of the 2018 Act

16.Section 52B of the 2018 Act was inserted by the Coronavirus (Scotland) Act 2020, passed on 1 April 2020 during the height of the coronavirus pandemic. Its effect is to allow the relaxation of the relevant deadline in an application for assistance under the 2018 Act where that deadline was missed for a reason related to coronavirus. Given the passage of time since the pandemic this provision is no longer necessary and so section 3 of the Act repeals section 52B.
