This Act of Sederunt amends the Summary Application Rules (“the Rules”) in consequence of the Adult Support and Protection (Scotland) Act 2007 (asp 10).

Paragraph 2(2) inserts a new Part XXXV into Chapter 3 of the Rules.

Part XXXV sets out rules providing for forms of application for a warrant for entry and for an order for variation or recall of a removal order. It also makes rules relating to banning orders and temporary banning orders, including notification to the adult, the service of an attached power of arrest on the subject of the order and its delivery to the chief constable, along with certain prescribed documents. This Part also makes provision for time limits for an appeal to the sheriff principal and for any hearing to take place in private where the sheriff considers it appropriate.
