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

This Act of Sederunt further amends Schedule 1 to the Sheriff Courts (Scotland) Act 1907 (“the Ordinary Cause Rules”) and inserts new rules 33.9A and 33.9B.

New rule 33.9A provides that the pursuer, in an application for divorce on the ground that an interim gender recognition certificate has been issued to either party to the marriage, must produce the interim gender recognition certificate (or a certified copy thereof) together with the initial writ.

New rule 33.9B provides that an application for a corrected gender recognition certificate shall be made by minute in the process of the action in relation to which the gender recognition certificate was issued.
