Enabling jurors: business regulatory impact assessment
An assessment of the costs and benefits of the policy of enabling jurors that may affect the public, private and third sectors. This policy was added to the Victims, Witnesses, and Justice Reform (Scotland) Bill at Stage 2 of the Bill's parliamentary process.
Declaration
I have read the Business and Regulatory Impact Assessment and I am satisfied that it represents a fair and reasonable view of the expected costs, benefits and impact of the policy, and that these have been taken into account when making the policy decision. I am satisfied that business impact has been assessed with the support of businesses in Scotland.
I am also satisfied that officials have considered the impact on consumers as required by the Consumer Scotland Act 2020 in completion of the Consumer Duty section of this BRIA.
