Commentary on Provisions Part 1: Gaelic Chapter 1: Support for the Gaelic language Section 12: Power to enforce duties of relevant public authorities
54.Section 12 inserts a new section 9A into the 2005 Act. This gives the Scottish Ministers a power to make an order (whether in response to a complaint by any person, or otherwise) declaring a public authority to be default in respect of any duty under the 2005 Act and requiring it to discharge that duty, with further powers for the Scottish Ministers to make arrangements for discharging the duty, and for the Court of Session to order specific performance of the duty by application of the Lord Advocate.
