Protection of Workers (Retail and Age-restricted Goods and Services) (Scotland) Bill: consideration prior to stage 3 - Defence of reasonableness
Defence of reasonableness
While the Bill is similar to the offence of threatening or abusive behaviour set out in section 38 of the Criminal Justice and Licensing (Scotland) Act 2010, two of the ways it differs are that:
for threatening or abusive behaviour to be an offence under section 38 of the 2010 Act it must be “likely to cause a reasonable person to suffer fear or alarm” - the Bill does not include a similar requirement;
it is a defence under section 38 of the 2010 Act to show that the behaviour was reasonable in the particular circumstances - the Bill does not currently provide for this either.
