(This note is not part of the Act of Sederunt)
This Act of Sederunt amends the Table of Fees in Chapter 42 of the Rules of the Court of Session 1994 by increasing the fees payable to solicitors (and recoverable from opponents) by about 3%. The last increase was in the Act of Sederunt (Rules of the Court of Session Amendment No. 8) (Fees of Solicitors) 1999 (S.S.I. 1999/166).
It also introduces a block fee in defended actions for perusal of documents recovered under a specification of documents, or by informal means where not otherwise provided for in the Table of Fees.
The Act of Sederunt does not apply as respects work done, or outlays incurred, before it comes into force.
