"I believe he is flying over for a sight test, so the regulations do not apply" @
Raffles. I'm not reading the situation in the same way. The Regulations will always apply, but they do include some provisions which explicitly permit certain activities which would otherwise not be allowed.
Under 8(4) of the Regulations there are valid reasons for leaving your house, and I agree that medical issues are explicitly included as a valid reason to travel. But I see nothing that then adds on "and then go to visit family". I'm aware Mr Cummings believes the Regulations allow you to "do anything you think is reasonable" but I'm not sure a Scottish Court would agree. I'd be interested to know which clause in the Regulations do you believe permits a family visit/stay?
