Regulation of Legal Services (Scotland) Act 2025

Section 52 – Ineligible or premature complaints

140.This section amends section 4 of the 2007 Act (complaint not made timeously or made prematurely). Subsection (3) ensures that the Commission does not need to take any further action in relation to a complaint referred to in section 2(1) of the 2007 Act that it considers is not an eligible complaint. Rules made by the Commission under section 32 of the Act set out the criteria for this. Subsection (4) ensures that the Commission does not need to take any further action in relation to a complaint referred to in section 2(1) of the 2007 Act that is made prematurely. Subsections (5) and (6) repeal provisions that are redundant as a result of the other changes.
