This Act of Sederunt amends Chapter 42 (taxation of accounts and fees of solicitors) of the Rules of the Court of Session 1994 (S.I. 1994/1443).

The Table of Fees has been amended to provide that all monetary values are expressed as a multiple or fraction of the new rate of £156 per hour. The previous rate was £142 per hour, which has not been increased since 2009 and certain values were previously not expressed as a multiple or fraction of that rate. They have now been standardised to the nearest appropriate multiple or fraction of £156 per hour.

The Table of Fees was last amended by the Act of Sederunt (Rules of the Court of Session Amendment No. 2) (Fees of Shorthand Writers) 2013 (S.S.I. 2013/111).

The Act of Sederunt does not apply as respects fees chargeable for work done, or outlays incurred, before it comes into force.
