Schedule 1 – Civil proceedings, etc. in relation to which summary sheriff has competence
270.Schedule 1, as introduced by section 44(1), lists civil proceedings in respect of which summary sheriffs are to have jurisdiction and powers. The Scottish Ministers may modify this schedule by order under section 44(3). Any such order is subject to the affirmative procedure by virtue of section 133(2)(a). Future legislation may confer other competences on summary sheriffs without reference to schedule 1, for example competence to conduct fatal accident inquiries.
