Bankruptcy and Debt Arrangement Scheme (Miscellaneous Amendment) (Scotland) Regulations 2023: equality impact assessment

Recommendations and Conclusion

Provisions within these Regulations will help those within the equality groups if they are struggling with unsustainable debts, either by improving access to debt relief through bankruptcy or preventing their DPP from failing. The cost crisis has the capacity to have a greater impact on older and disabled people and these provisions will help to support these equality groups.
