Consultations
One of the main functions
of the law reform team - staff and committees - is to analyse and
respond to proposed changes in the law. Part of this process
involves commenting on consultations from the Scottish Government,
Scottish Parliament, UK Parliament, Scottish Law Commission and
elsewhere.
In this section you will find our consultation responses for the
past four years. Under each year, the responses are listed by area
of law.
Current Scottish parliament Bills being considered
Current Westminster Parliament Bills being considered
Listed below are the main consultations our committees are
currently considering. We encourage our members to respond to
consultations and would encourage members to email us a copy of any
response submitted via email to lawreform@lawscot.org.uk
