Section 2 Offence of providing false or misleading information for the registerI1I2
Scotland
A person commits an offence if—
the person gives information that the person knows, or ought to know, is false or misleading to—
the Scottish Ministers, or
a person carrying out a single-building assessment or an additional work assessment, and
the person knows, or is reckless as to whether, giving the information is likely to result in—
a material inaccuracy in an entry in the cladding assurance register, or
an entry for a building not being created in the register when it otherwise would.
A person who commits an offence under subsection (1) is liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale.
For the avoidance of doubt, the reference in subsection (1) to giving the Scottish Ministers information is not limited to doing so in response to a requirement imposed under section 5.
