Commentary on Sections Matters relating to the exercise of LBRO’s functions Section 13: Duty not to impose burdens etc
43.Subsection (1) requires LBRO to secure that the exercise of its functions does not impose burdens, which are unnecessary or maintain burdens that have become unnecessary. Subsection (2) specifies that unnecessary burdens need not be removed where to do so would be impracticable or disproportionate.
44.Subsection (3) requires LBRO to secure that it exercises its functions in a way that is transparent, accountable, proportionate, and consistent, and that it targets its activities only at cases where action is needed. These are the Better Regulation Commission’s Principles of Good Regulation.
