Adults with Incapacity (Public Guardian's Fees) (Scotland) Regulations 2001 (SSI 2001/75)
The regulations prescribe the fees payable to the public guardian for certain matters under the Adults with Incapacity (Scotland) Act 2000.
It is suggested that the committee may care to consider asking the Executive why it has failed to follow the guidance in paragraphs 2.23A, and 2.73 and 2.79 of "Statutory Instrument Practice" in relation to, respectively, the footnote on page 1 and the explanatory note. We might also ask the Executive to what the copying fees prescribed in items 7 and 8 of the schedule refer. Will people be charged for replacement or duplicate certificates in items 3 and 6 of the schedule?
Again, because of the timing, if the committee agrees we will ask those questions by letter and I, or the convener on his return, will approve the responses before the publication of our report.
