Part 9 – Scottish Commission on Social Security
Section 21: Removal of Commission’s status as body corporate
148.This section of the Act repeals the Commission’s status as a body corporate under the 2018 Act. A body corporate is an entity with its own legal existence, making it capable of legal functions such as entering into contracts or employing staff. Since the coming into force of the 2018 Act the Commission has not used any functions which its status as a body corporate would allow, so this section aligns its status with how it has operated in practice. It will continue to be recognised as an advisory non-departmental public body.
