In addition, paragraphs 2, 3 and 5 make minor corrections and clarifications to other rules of court. Paragraph 2 corrects a minor cross-referencing error in rule 41.52 of the Rules of the Court of Session 1994.

Paragraph 5(2) corrects a minor cross-referencing error in rule 3.49 of the Child Care and Maintenance Rules, and paragraph 5(3) clarifies the information to be inserted in Form 65A of that Act of Sederunt.
