Explanatory Note

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

This Act of Sederunt makes rules of procedure in the sheriff court for applications relating to attachments and auctions.

The form of diligence over corporeal moveable property known as attachment was created by Parts 2 and 3 of the Debt Arrangement and Attachment (Scotland) Act 2002. That Act of the Scottish Parliament also abolished the form of diligence over corporeal moveable property known as poinding, and any consequent warrant sale.

This Act therefore revokes the rules of procedure for applications relating to poindings and warrant sales, made under the Debtors (Scotland) Act 1987. It makes the savings provision necessary as a result of that revocation.

This Act makes minor and consequential amendments to other rules of procedure in the sheriff courts and Court of Session.

This Act provides for new forms of summary warrant, which may be granted by the sheriff for recovery of certain kinds of taxes and charges.
