EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Act of Sederunt)
This Act of Sederunt makes amendments to the Ordinary Cause Rules, the Summary Application Rules, the Summary Cause Rules and the Small Claim Rules.
A new Chapter is inserted in each set of the Rules in consequence of section 127 of the Legal Services (Scotland) Act 2010 to regulate the use of lay representatives for parties in the conduct of civil proceedings. In accordance with the rules, lay representatives are permitted when appearing at a hearing to make oral submissions to the sheriff on the party’s behalf.
Existing rules in relation to representation and lay support are preserved and sit in parallel with the new rules.
