Completed projects
This page lists some of the law reform projects completed by the Scottish Law Commission in recent years. You can link from the list to further details about each project. The details generally reflect the state of the projects at completion, but in some cases the details have been updated to show progress with implementation of our final recommendations. Joint projects with the Law Commission are also included. For details of our current projects see the Law reform projects page.
Most of the work was carried out under the authority of the Seventh Programme of Law Reform or a reference from the Scottish Ministers under section 3(1)(e) of the Law Commissions Act 1965.
