Item of business
New Petitions
Property Factors (Scotland) Act 2011 (PE2094)
Considering the response from the Scottish Government, I ask the committee to consider closing the petition under rule 15.7 of standing orders on the basis that the Property Factors (Scotland) Act 2011 was not intended to apply to property factors that are solely concerned with providing services to commercial property owners; that the Scottish Government has no plans to amend the 2011 act to encompass the relationship between property factors and commercial property owners; and that disputes between businesses and commercial property factors can be dealt with in the normal court system and businesses should seek independent legal advice to determine what action may be available to them to resolve the dispute.
