Subordinate Legislation Committee, 28 Sep 1999

Meeting date: Tuesday, September 28, 1999

Road Traffic (Parking Adjudicators) (City of Glasgow) Regulations 1999 (SSI 1999/60)

The Convener:

There appear to be lacunae here, and difficulties regarding information relating to appeals. Does Fergus wish to comment on this instrument in addition to the last one? Our legal advice suggested that there was a gap in the legislation concerning acknowledgement of the extension of time limits for appeals.

We thought that it was important for appellants to be made aware of the decision to extend the time limit and that they should not merely rely on the good graces and good offices of the people who administer the scheme. The Executive appears to accept that it might be better to include an express provision in the regulations. Do members agree that it might be important and appropriate for us to flag up the matter to the lead committee? That is agreed.
