Economy and Fair Work Committee

Registers of Scotland

Meeting date: 14 June 2023

Graham Simpson

Okay. I have one more question, convener, if that is okay.

I was looking through the list of the 21 registers for which you are responsible, some of which sound really quite fascinating. There are all sorts: the register of the great seal, the register of the quarter seal, the register of the cachet seal鈥擨 hope that I pronounced that correctly鈥攖he register of service of heirs, and so on. Which one of those registers takes up the most time for you, and are there any that take up no time?

I realise that every case is different鈥攕ome are really complicated鈥攂ut, once you have cleared that backlog, what would be the longest time that you anticipate a case would take?

Why has it taken so long?

I have a supplementary question about the rejection of applications. If I heard you correctly, you said that 10 per cent鈥攐ne in 10 applications鈥攚ere rejected because of mistakes made by solicitors. That strikes me as quite a high number, and it has to be a huge concern. I would not expect you to publish it, but do you keep an internal list of the worst offenders and of the top mistakes that are being made?

If you had introduced an LCM earlier, do you think that you would have been in a position to say yes?

What is your longest outstanding case?

I accept that things are improving, but it is hard to accept that cases have taken six years. You cannot blame the pandemic for a six-year, five-year or four-year delay. How did we get to that position?

Consumer Scotland

Graham Simpson

Do you see Consumer Scotland more as a research organisation?
