I understand this Committee is the lead Committee for these Regulations. fully support that these Regulations have been laid, although I am disappointed that it has taken so Ilong for them to be laid, as whilst giving evidence to this Committee in 2016, in relation to the Bankruptcy (Fees) Amendment Regulations 2016, assurances were given at that time by the Minister, Paul Wheelhouse MSP, that regulations would be forthcoming. owever, I would like to also draw the Committee’s attention to the fact that the Judicial Rate of Hinterest remains at 8% (the amount that can be charged post-decree in a court action for payment of money) and I have written to the Scottish Civil Justice Council to ask if they will consider bringing forward similar proposals to amend that. attach my letter to them for your consideration and would ask if the Committee would consider Iraising this matter with them also.
