Since the Court Reform (Scotland) Act 2014 and the creation of the All
Scotland Personal Injury Court, Scotland's sheriff courts now deals with
all cases worth up to £100,000, covering cases ranging from debt and
bankruptcy, to child welfare and anti-social behaviour.
With a focus on remedies, Style Writs for the Sheriff Court
illustrates general litigation styles using fictitious characters and
detailed accounts which are based on real cases, covering the areas
commonly encountered by solicitors. It also incorporates changes brought
about by the Home Owner and Debtor Protection (Scotland) Act 2010 and
the 2019 Rules on Expenses.
Solicitors practising in Scotland will benefit from the new and updated
style writs included, such as:
- Pursuer's Offer
- Action for Reduction
- Action for Proving the Tenor of a lost document
The Fifth Edition of this practical guide enables you to navigate
styles of writs, defences, motions and written pleadings using up to
date references to statute and Court Rules.
