Meeting date: 31 May 2023
Christine Grahame
I have a brief supplementary question. Is there an appellant procedure, if a licence is suspended?

Therefore, in such circumstances, there is a method, which is to apply to the sheriff to appeal the suspension.

What was it about? I can just ask it. [Interruption.] Oh, the code of practice. I now know what it is—thank you very much.
What is the justification for having a statutory code of practice when you already have licensing?

You do not think that that is overkill. Oh—I should not have used that expression. I should have said, “You do not think that that is over the top.”

It is just something to have regard to. It is persuasive rather than determinative.

If someone did not comply regularly with such recommendations and did not take such advice, it could lead to a determination being made with regard to their licence.

It must seem a bit odd to the public that, in the example—which I have not seen—of one suffering animal and one dead animal beside each other, the SSPCA can be involved with one case but not with the other.
