The Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982 (Metal Dealers’ Exemption Warrants) Order 2012
Section 29 of the Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982 (“the 1982 Act”) provides that metal dealers with an annual turnover of more than £100,000 can apply to the licensing authority for an exemption warrant. An exemption warrant granted to a metal dealer under section 29 excuses the metal dealer from the requirement to hold a metal dealers’ licence and the other requirements placed on metal dealers in sections 30 to 36 of the 1982 Act.
