The Act Part 3 – Miscellaneous and General Section 28 – Delegation of functions
93.Subsection (1) allows the Scottish Ministers (by order approved by the Scottish Parliament) to delegate any of their functions under the Act. So, for example, they could arrange for another person or body to carry out their functions in relation to receiving and determining applications for entry in the register of property factors.
94.Subsection (3) specifies certain exceptions to this: the excepted functions (which may not be delegated) are those relating to the making of regulations or orders, those relating to fees and those relating to laying documents before the Scottish Parliament.
