(This note is not part of the Order)
This Act of Sederunt amends the Table of Fees in Schedule 1(general regulations) to the Act of Sederunt (Fees of Solicitors in the Sheriff Court) (Amendment and Further Provisions) 1993 by increasing the fees payable to solicitors by about 3%. The fee for work done before action commences is increased by about 6%. The last increase was in the Act of Sederunt (Fees of Solicitors in the Sheriff Court) (Amendment) 2000 (S.S.I. 2000/420).
It also introduces a block fee in defended actions for attending consultation with counsel to consider tender, extrajudicial settlement or with a view to settlement (whether or not settlement is agreed).
The Act of Sederunt does not apply as respects work done, or outlays incurred, before it comes into force.
1907 c. 51; section 40 was amended by the Sheriff Courts (Scotland) Act 1913 c. 28, Schedule 1; the Secretaries of State Act 1926 c. 18, section 1(3); the Administration of Justice (Scotland) Act 1933 c. 41, Schedule; the Divorce Jurisdiction, Court Fees and Legal Aid (Scotland) Act 1983 c. 12, Schedule 1, paragraph 7 and Schedule 2; and the Law Reform (Miscellaneous Provisions) (Scotland) Act 1990 c. 40, Schedule 9.
