Crofting and Scottish Land Court Bill: child rights and wellbeing impact assessment

5. Analysis of Evidence

5.1 Crofting

The evidence, as set out at Section 1-3 above, suggests that the proposed legislation is not expected to impact on the rights of children and young people other than to a small extent, and in no manner different to that of other age groups. Although there is potential for children to be affected by the proposals, due to the nature of the Bill, we consider that the proposals will neither positively nor negatively impact children.

5.2 Scottish Land Court

Not applicable. The proposed amalgamation and proposals relating to Upper Tribunal membership are not expected to impact on the rights of children and young people in a manner different to that of other age groups. The amalgamation is primarily administrative in nature. The same can be said for the Upper Tribunal membership proposals, which relate to maximising available judicial resource.
