Abstract: At present, there is no legislation in place in Scotland to stop shops of any size from trading on any day of the year. This Act prohibits large shops from opening for trading on Christmas Day in Scotland unless specifically exempted, with a large shop defined as one with a trading floor area exceeding 280 square metres. It also confers powers on the Scottish Ministers to make it a criminal offence, by order to be approved by the Parliament, for a large shop to trade on New Year's Day, following a consultation, the making of a report and the submission of a statement of reasons to the Parliament.
