EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Act of Sederunt)
This Act of Sederunt makes changes to court rules and other rules to take account of the coming into force of the Bankruptcy (Scotland) Act 2016.
Paragraph 2 amends the Rules of the Court of Session by replacing existing references to the Bankruptcy (Scotland) Act 1985 (“the 1985 Act”), and by substituting a new version of Chapter 72, which makes provision about certain appeals, referrals and remits to the Court of Session.
Paragraph 6 revokes the Act of Sederunt (Sheriff Court Bankruptcy Rules) 2008, which are being superseded by new rules.
Paragraphs 3, 4, 5 and 7 replace references to the 1985 Act where they appear elsewhere in rules.
Paragraph 8 preserves the effect of existing rules for the purpose of proceedings concerned with sequestrations that continue to be subject to the provisions of the 1985 Act.
