Contract (Formation and Remedies) (Scotland) Bill: equality impact assessment

Key Findings

The Bill will impact parties who enter into a contract. The proposals in the Bill are overall neutral and would apply equally to any person who makes the decision to contract. There is no compulsion on any persons to enter into a contract, and for those not wishing to do so alternatives might be sought. Further, many of the provisions in the Bill are default provisions that apply where parties have not agreed an alternative or where the contract might be silent.
