Scottish Tied Pubs Adjudicator's Investigation Policy: consultation
The Tied Pubs (Scotland) Act 2021 regulates the relationship between tied pub landlords and tenants through the Scottish Pubs Code. This consultation seeks input from pub-owning businesses and tenants on the Adjudicator’s powers for ensuring compliance with the Code and enforcing it when necessary.
Introduction
As the Scottish Pubs Code Adjudicator, I am pleased to invite you to contribute to our ongoing efforts to shape fair practices within the Scottish pubs industry. Your experience and perspective are crucial in ensuring transparency and equity.
This consultation aims to engage both pub-owning businesses and tenants regarding the Adjudicator’s investigation powers for compliance with the Code and its enforcement where necessary.
Please note, this consultation focuses solely on the Adjudicator’s investigation and enforcement functions. The Scottish Government has conducted a separate engagement on the pubs Code – Scottish Pubs Code for tied pubs - Scottish Government consultations - Citizen Space.
This questionnaire is divided into 4 parts:
- Part 1 - Information about Respondents
- Part 2 - Background and Purpose
- Part 3 - Investigation and Enforcement Function
- Part 4 - Consultation Questions
If you have any further questions regarding the questionnaire, please provide your feedback and suggestions by 27 November at Pubscodeadjudicator@gov.scot
Thank you for your commitment to fostering a thriving and equitable pub industry in Scotland. I look forward to your active participation.
Best regards,
Sarah Havlin
