What can we help you with today?
PIUG has been established, chaired by Sheriff Robert Fife.
If court users have any matters which they wish to draw to the attention of the court relating to personal injury procedures they should contact the Secretary to the Group:
Fiona Pryke
Email: NationalPICourt@scotcourts.gov.uk
Alternatively such matters may be raised with members of the group who, if appropriate, will arrange for the topic to be discussed at the next meeting.
Arising from discussions at the PIUG and from the operation of the rules it has been decided that when actions settle, agents (usually the pursuers' agents), should lodge with the Personal Injury Clerk; preferably by e-mail - the Personal Injury Action Settled (PIAS) form which may be printed off and lodged or downloaded, completed and e-mailed to NationalPICourt@scotcourts.gov.uk.
Guidance notes relating to the form are attached. Use of the form should reduce the need for unnecessary 'by order' hearings when actions have indeed settled and avoid agents having to appear to discharge proofs.
