(This note is not part of the Order)
This Act of Sederunt amends the Tables of Fees in Chapter 42 of the Rules of the Court of Session 1994 by increasing the fees payable to solicitors (and recoverable from opponents) by about 3%. The last increase was in the Act of Sederunt (Rules of the Court of Session Amendment No. 3) (Fees of Solicitors) 1998 (S.I.1998/2674) but was based on statistical information gathered in 1995.
The Act of Sederunt does not apply as respects work done, or outlays incurred, before it comes into force.
1988 c. 36; section 5 was amended by the Civil Evidence (Scotland) Act 1988 (c. 32), section 2(3) and by the Children (Scotland) Act 1995 (c. 36), Schedule 4, paragraph 45.
