EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Act of Sederunt)

This Act of Sederunt amends the Table of Fees recoverable in respect of work carried out by solicitors in the Court of Session.

Paragraph 2(2) increases the fees which are recoverable by about 4% . The last increase in fees was made by Act of Sederunt (Rules of the Court of Session Amendment No. 2) (Fees of Solicitors) 2005 (S.S.I. 2005/147).

Paragraph 2(3) amends paragraph 1A of Part V of Chapter III (defended actions) to allow the Auditor to allow a greater sum under that paragraph for pre-litigation work where he considers that it is justified.

Paragraph 2(4) amends the narrative in relation to the incidental procedure fee under paragraph 9 of Part VA of Chapter III to clarify what is recoverable under that fee.

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