Part 7: General and miscellaneous
Section 104: Dissolution of Redress Scotland
304.This section gives the Scottish Ministers the power to make regulations (which are subject to the affirmative procedure by virtue of section 107(2)) providing for the dissolution of Redress Scotland. However, this may only be done at such point as the redress scheme has closed for new applications, there are no ongoing applications or ongoing requests for fee payments from solicitors, and Redress Scotland no longer has (or as a result of these regulations will no longer have) the functions detailed in section 7.
305.The regulations may modify or terminate any of Redress Scotland’s functions, or transfer them to the Scottish Ministers or any other body. Before making the regulations, the Scottish Ministers have a duty to consult Redress Scotland and any other persons they consider appropriate. This would cover those whose interests are affected by the proposed regulations, such as survivors of historical abuse in care.
