2nd November 2009 EXPLANATORY NOTE (This note is not part of the Act of Sederunt)

This Act of Sederunt amends Schedule 1 to the Act of Sederunt (Fees of Messengers-at-Arms) (No. 2) 2002 making provision relating to the new diligence of money attachment, which was introduced by the Bankruptcy and Diligence etc. (Scotland) Act 2007.

Paragraph 2(2) inserts a new regulation 12A providing that realisation and disposal of money attached and depositing of cash and foreign currency shall be chargeable on a time basis.

Paragraph 2(3) inserts a new regulation 13A providing that the fees for money attachment specified in the Table of Fees are to be calculated according to the sum recoverable and not the value of the money attached.

Paragraph 2(4) amends regulation 15 to include a reference to the Bankruptcy and Diligence etc. (Scotland) Act 2007.

Paragraph 2(5) amends the Table of Fees by inserting a new item 5A into the Table of Fees setting the fees chargeable for money attachment. It also removes item 6 as sequestration for rent and poinding of the ground as a consequence of abolition of those diligences by the Bankruptcy and Diligence etc. (Scotland) Act 2007.
