Legal Aid (Scotland) Act 1986

Status:

This is the original version (as it was originally enacted).

9(1)The Board shall, not later than such date as the Secretary of State may determine, make an offer of employment by the Board to each person employed immediately before that date—

(a)by the Law Society for the purpose of their functions under the [1967 c. 43.] Legal Aid (Scotland) Act 1967 ; and

(b)in the civil service of the State wholly or mainly in connection with the assessment of a person's means under section 4 of that Act.

(2)The terms of the offer shall be such that they are, taken as a whole, not less favourable to the person to whom the offer is made than the terms on which he is employed on the date on which the offer is made.

(3)For the purposes of sub-paragraph (2) above no account shall be taken of the fact that employment with the Board is not employment in the service of the Crown.

(4)An offer made in pursuance of this paragraph shall not be revocable during the period of 3 months commencing with the date on which it is made.
