# Protection of Vulnerable Groups (Scotland) Act 2007, Section 90: Crown application


(1) This Act binds the Crown.
(2) But subordinate legislation made under this Act need not bind the Crown.
(3) No contravention by the Crown of a provision made by or under this Act makes the Crown criminally liable.
(4) 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.
(5) Despite subsection (3), the provisions made by and under this Act apply to persons in the public service of the Crown as they apply to other persons.
