Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Act of Sederunt)
This Act of Sederunt amends Chapters I and II of 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 4.8%. The last increase in fees was made by Act of Sederunt (Rules of the Court of Session Amendment No.3) (Fees of Solicitors) 2004 (S.S.I. 2004/196).
Paragraph 2(3) of the Act increases the fee recoverable for preparation of accounts of expenses.
Paragraph 2(4) of the Act increases the limit on recovery of expenses paid to witnesses from £250 per day to £400 per day.
Paragraph 2(5) of the Act removes references to travelling time as a recoverable area of expense in Part VA of Chapter III (defended personal injuries actions commenced on or after 1st April 2003).
This Act of Sederunt does not apply as Respects fees chargeable for work done, or outlays incurred, before it comes into force.
