What is a Power of Attorney and how can its use impact Scottish businesses?

What is a Power of Attorney and how can its use impact Scottish businesses?

Power of Attorney. I have never liked the name. It is an English law wording imported into our civil (Roman) Scottish system. I say this not to be nationalist or curmudgeonly. It is just that both elements – power, and attorney – are foreign labels for legal concepts that are not quite the same as the ones we have always known. If I ruled the world, or Scotland at least, it would be called a Grant of Agency.
