Minor and Consequential Amendments Part 1 .Amendments to the DDA 1995 Paragraph 14
198.This replaces section 20(7)(c) in consequence of a non-textual amendment made by paragraph 1 of Schedule 5 to the Adults with Incapacity (Scotland) Act 2000. Section 20(7)(c) allows the Secretary of State to make regulations disapplying section 20(4)(b), which concerns justification by a service provider of less favourable treatment of a disabled person who is incapable of entering into an enforceable agreement. The power will be available where, under the law of Scotland, a guardian, tutor or judicial factor has been appointed to manage the disabled person’s affairs.
