UEFA European Championship Bill: BRIA

Legal Aid Impact Test

The legislation is considered to have minimal implications in terms of legal aid.

While any individual (excluding a "body corporate or unincorporate") is entitled to advice and assistance on a matter of Scots law, subject to financial eligibility and liability to pay a contribution, the number of prosecutions of individuals as a result of the legislation is expected to be very low. Prosecution would be expected to be a last resort and the potential impact is also reduced due to the time-limited nature of the offences.
