Article 14 Laying of Scottish statutory instruments before the Scottish ParliamentI1I2

Any reference in any enactment to laying before the Scottish Parliament any Scottish statutory instrument is, unless the contrary intention appears, to be construed as a reference to the taking, during any time when the Scottish Parliament is not dissolved, of such action as is specified in the standing orders of the Scottish Parliament as constituting the laying of any document before the Parliament, even if the action so specified consists, in whole or in part, of action which is capable of being taken when the Parliament is in recess.
