Regulation 17 EvidenceF1

An answer given by a person in compliance with a requirement imposed under paragraph 1(i) of Schedule 3 is admissible in Scotland against that person in criminal proceedings.

In criminal proceedings in which a person mentioned in paragraph (1) is charged with an offence to which this paragraph applies, no evidence relating to that person’s answer may be adduced and no question relating to it may be asked by or on behalf of the prosecution unless evidence relating to it is adduced by or on behalf of that person.

Paragraph (2) applies to any offence other than one—

Nothing in Schedule 3 compels the production by any person of a document of which that person would, on grounds of legal professional privilege, be entitled to withhold production on an order for the production of documents in an action in the Court of Session.
