EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the International Organisations (Immunities and Privileges) (Scotland) Order 2009 to confer privileges and immunities, insofar as they are within devolved competence, on the Unified Patent Court and its representatives, judges, registrars and employees. It gives effect to the Protocol on Privileges and Immunities done in Brussels on 29th June 2016. It should be read together with the Unified Patent Court (Immunities and Privileges) Order 2017 (S.I. 2017/xxx) which confers additional immunities and privileges.
