Brucellosis (Scotland) Regulations 2000 (SSI 2000/364)

Offences for breach of the regulations are triable only summarily, so we should ask the Executive why regulation 23(2) provides for a fine

"not exceeding the statutory maximum."

The Convener:

I would welcome clarification of that point and of whether the Executive feels that, given the possible dangers to public health, the level of fine is appropriate. I appreciate that the current situation might always have been the case; however, we can but see.
