Part 5 – Civil Appeals

Appeals to the Court of Session

Section 114 – Appeal from the sheriff principal to the Court of Session

204.There are some enactments which provide for applications direct to the sheriff principal rather than the sheriff (as explained with reference to section 109 these are unaffected that section).
