These Regulations make corrections to the saving provision of the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2016 (Consequential and Saving Provisions) Regulations 2016 (“the principal Regulations”).

Regulation 2(2) substitutes a new regulation 3 (saving) for regulation 3 of the principal Regulations.

The effect of the amendment made by these Regulations is to clarify the application of the saving provision contained in regulation 3 of the principal Regulations in circumstances where the estate of a deceased person contains more than one lease of an agricultural holding or relevant lease.
