The Rules of the Scottish Land Court Order 2014

Provision of copies

106.—(1) Where a party lodges with the court any document which requires to be intimated to another party or other parties, the party lodging the document must also provide to the court sufficient hard copies of the document for one to be sent by the Principal Clerk to each of the other parties.

(2) Where a party has failed, following a request from the Principal Clerk, to provide sufficient hard copies of a document which requires to be intimated to allow one to be sent to each of the other parties, the Principal Clerk may—

(a) return the document to the party who lodged it and advise that party that the document will not be intimated until the requisite number of hard copies has been provided; or

(b) if practicable, have sufficient hard copies of the document made for the purposes of intimation.

(3) Where the Principal Clerk instructs copies to be made in accordance with paragraph (2)(b), the party lodging the document shall be liable to pay the fee for copying as prescribed by the Table of Fees.

(4) Where a document has been lodged by electronic means, and the Principal Clerk is satisfied that intimation of the document to the appropriate parties may satisfactorily be achieved by electronic means, she may dispense with the requirement for intimation copies to be provided, but the principal hard copy of the document must still be provided in accordance with rule 105(2).
