Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Act of Sederunt)

This Act of Sederunt amends Rule 41.44 of the Rules of the Court of Session to provide that appeals from the Competition Commission under section 49 of the Competition Act 1998 may not be remitted from the Inner House to the Outer House. This replicates the prohibition on the remission of appeals from the Restrictive Practices Court under section 10 of the Restrictive Practices Court Act 1976 from the Inner House to the Outer House.
