Scottish Pubs Code Adjudicator (Duty to Publish Certain Information) Regulations 2024 and Scottish Pubs Code Adjudicator (Miscellaneous Listings) Order 2024: Business and Regulatory Impact Assessment

Implementation and Delivery Plan

The legislation is expected to come into force on 7 October 2024. It will be for the Adjudicator to ensure that they operate in accordance with the instruments.

Post-Implementation Review

Scottish Ministers are required to review the performance of the Adjudicator, once formally established, over the first two years of operation and then at three yearly intervals thereafter.

The Adjudicator is also required to prepare and make public an annual report of its activities during the financial year, which will inform the review. Scottish Ministers must lay a copy of the annual report before the Scottish Parliament every year.
