Bankruptcy and Attachment (Miscellaneous Amendment) (Scotland) Regulations 2026: island communities impact assessment

Step Two – Gather your data and identify your stakeholders

What data is available about the current situation in the islands?

The data available on island communities with respect to statutory debt solutions and diligence is limited.

Do you need to consult?

Details of the consultation are included in the Step One section above. No further consultation and no separate consultation in relation to the islands is required.

How does any existing data differ between islands?

Given the above-mentioned difficulties obtaining data it is not possible to identify any differences.

Are there any existing design features or mitigations in place?

The amendments made by the Regulations will apply equally to all individuals irrespective of their location and it is not considered that any design features or mitigations are required.
