| | Scotland Act 1998 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Scotland Act 1998 is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom at Westminster. | | | The Act requires Acts of the Scottish Parliament and actions of the Scottish Ministers to be compatible with the European Convention on Human Rights, and does so in a way which gives courts greater control than they have over UK Acts of Parliament as provided for by the Human Rights Act 1998. | | | The Act also sets up mechanisms to allow disputes to be resolved over the legislative competence of the Scottish Parliament and the powers of the Scottish Executive, ultimately involving the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. |

| | Acts of Sederunt and Acts of Adjournal which regulate court procedure are similarly a source of law. | | | Subsection(2) helps to define that competence: therefore acts which would apply outwith Scotland, or relate to matters reserved to the UK Parliament, or would be incompatible with EU law or the ECHR or contravene certain other aspects of the Scotland Act are not law. | | | In the law of contract, the Consumer Credit Act 1974 is the most significant statute of the modern era, having altered the Scots Common Law in many fields. |

| | Acts of Sederunt govern procedure in the civil courts, while acts of Adjournal govern procedure in the criminal courts. | | | Human Rights Act 1998, the European Communities Act 1972, and other basic constitutional documents as outlined in section 7 of the act. | | | Northern Ireland Act 1998 clearly delineates between those matters within the legislative competence of the Assembly and those matters outside of its competence. |

| | Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 : implementation and practice |
| | The Scottish Act largely follows the UK Act with regard to the nature of publication schemes, but differs with regard to the public interest test that the public authority must consider when assessing the content of its publication scheme. | | | The Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 ('the Scottish Act') was passed by the Scottish Parliament on 24 April 2002 and received Royal Assent on 28 May 2002. | | | The Scottish Act creates a general right of access to information held by public bodies, but also sets out 17 exemptions where that right is either disapplied or qualified. |
