Abstract

This Order amends the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (Exceptions to section 14) (Scotland) Order 2012 in article 2(1) so as to make clear that the type of animal listed in Part 1 of the Schedule is specified for the purposes of section 14(2B)(a) of the 1981 Act insofar as that section disapplies subsection (1)(a)(i) of section 14 of the 1981 Act to those types of animal. It also substitutes a new Part 2 into the Schedule to the 2012 Order so as to correct the reference to the current nomenclature for plant species specified for the purposes of section 14(2B)(b).
