Exchequer causes shall at all times take precedence of and have preference over all other causes in the Court.
Except where any enactment otherwise provides, all exchequer causes brought—
(a)on behalf of the Crown, shall be at the instance of the Lord Advocate;
(b)by any person alleging any ground of action against the Crown, shall be directed against the Lord Advocate.
In all exchequer causes, the Lord Advocate shall, in pleading on behalf of the Crown, have the privilege of being heard last.
An appeal may be brought to the House of Lords against the judgment of the Inner House in an exchequer cause as if it were a judgment of the Inner House on the whole merits of the cause in an ordinary action.
