Explanatory Note

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

This Act of Sederunt amends the rules of procedure for summary causes and small claims.

It permits certain persons other than advocates or solicitors to represent a party in relation to all aspects of those proceedings that the party (or any party who is an individual) could deal with himself other than, in summary causes, appearances in court after first calling where the case is defended.

Provision is also made to regulate the expenses which may be warded to parties so represented.

Summary Cause rule 18 is amended to make provision for the hearing of motions for orders under section 48(2) of the Housing (Scotland) Act 1987.
