Subordinate Legislation


Act of Sederunt (Fees of Sheriff Officers) 2008 (SSI 2008/430)

Item 3 is consideration of an instrument that is subject to the negative procedure. I draw members' attention to the cover note that is attached to the instrument.

This is one of the few instances in which negative procedure and no procedure are combined. I make that point just for the practical amusement of those who enjoy the theory of subordinate legislation.

That is the position, but I doubt whether anyone in their right mind could enjoy the theory of subordinate legislation.

I was not making that claim for myself.

Are members content to note the instrument?

Members indicated agreement.

That concludes today's business.
