Section 143 Crown applicationI1

This Act binds the Crown.

No contravention by the Crown of any provision made by virtue of this Act makes the Crown criminally liable; but the Court of Session may, on the application of any public body or office-holder having responsibility for enforcing that provision, declare unlawful any act or omission of the Crown which constitutes such a contravention.

However, any provision made by virtue of this Act applies to persons in the public service of the Crown as it applies to other persons.
