Issue No. 143

C O N T E N T S

N O T I C E

Parties should liaise with the Keeper’s office prior to enrolling a motion seeking to assign or re-assign a date for a hearing in the Outer House (this excludes commercial and family actions).

Please can parties communicate with the Keeper’s office inbox:  keepers@scotcourts.gov.uk

This change is being implemented to avoid overloading of the court rolls, and to avoid hearings in actions which are not being case managed, being assigned for unsuitable dates and times.

UPDATED N O T I C E

OPPOSED AND STARRED MOTIONS

The procedure for the allocation of opposed and starred motions will now be as follows:

When an opposition to a motion or an automatic starred motion is lodged during term time, the Keeper’s Office will allocate the motion to call 2 days ahead from the enrolment of the opposed or starred motion.

Can all parties please ensure their respective counsel are available prior to the enrolment of any opposed or starred motion.

Parties should liaise with the Keeper’s office in relation to the allocation of these motions.  Following the allocation of the motion, the clerk will liaise with parties to agree the time the motion will call.  This is to ensure an opportunity is provided for representations to be made about the format of the hearing.

All communications with the Keeper’s Office should be made to:

keepers@scotcourts.gov.uk
