Scottish Law Commission report on review of contract law
Overview
This consultation seeks general views on the Scottish Law Commission (SLC) report on review of contract law. In recognition that it has been 6 years since the report was published and in line with the process the Scottish Ministers have set out to Parliament in respect of potential SLC Bills, the consultation will seek to establish:
-
- Whether the landscape around this area of the law has changed since the Report was published and if so whether the changes are material to the recommendations contained in the Report.
- That the consultation views received by the SLC are still broadly held
