Regulation 15 Enforcement authorities

Every local authority is an enforcement authority for the purposes of these Regulations.

It is the duty of each enforcement authority to enforce these Regulations in its area.

The Scottish Ministers may appoint, subject to such conditions or limitations as they think fit, themselves or another person as an enforcement authority for the purposes of enforcement of the performance of duties under these Regulations by a local authority.

Where a local authority is appointed as an enforcement authority for the purposes of enforcement of the performance of duties under these Regulations by another local authority that local authority, as enforcement authority, has a duty to enforce these Regulations in the area of the other authority
