Explanatory note

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

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

This Act of Sederunt amends existing provisions for the keeping of records in the Commissary Court Books to allow for recording of such records by methods other than microfilm. It requires the commissary clerk to seek the prior approval of the Keeper of the Records of Scotland before using new types of equipment to record documents in the Commissary Court Books.

It also amends the term “writ” to “document” to reflect more accurately the practice of the commissary clerk.
