Detailed Provisions Part 7: General and miscellaneous Section 107: Regulation-making powers
311.This section makes further provision about the powers the Scottish Ministers are given under this Act to make regulations. It provides that a power to make regulations includes the power to make different rules for different purposes or make incidental, supplementary, consequential, transitional, transitory or saving provision when doing so. It also sets out the parliamentary procedure to which each regulation-making power is subject. Regulations made under section 94(3) (provision about fee payment requests and fees for legal work), 102(5)(a) (further provision about or in connection with the Survivor Forum) or 108 (ancillary provision) which amend any text contained within the Act or another Act are subject to the affirmative procedure, but are otherwise subject to the negative procedure.
312.The section does not apply to commencement regulations. Provision is made in relation to them in section 109 instead.
