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

This Act of Sederunt makes amendments to the Rules of the Court of Session 1994 (S.I. 1994/1443) (“the Rules”) to make provision consequent upon amendments to the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002 (c. 41) (“the Act of 2002”) by the Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006 (c. 13) (“the Act of 2006”).

It substitutes Part XI of Chapter 41 (applications under section 103A of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002) with a new Part XI (Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002). The new Part repeats the existing rules with a slight amendment to rule 41.48 (applications for reconsideration) by deleting paragraph (3)(e) (certificate of intimation). It also includes a new rule 41.52C on notification to the court to continue an appeal or application that would otherwise be deemed abandoned. Forms 41.48 (petition for reconsideration) and 41.52 (citation) are re inserted and a new Form 41.52C of notification to the court is inserted.
