  "text": "(This note is not part of the Act of Sederunt)\nThis Act of Sederunt makes miscellaneous amendments to various sheriff court rules.\nParagraph 2 amends the Act of Sederunt (Simple Procedure) 2016. These amendments clarify the Simple Procedure Rules in a number of ways. In particular, the amendments clarify who is able to make a Time to Pay Application in a simple procedure case, how a party may send something to another party if no method of sending has been effective, and how a charge must be formally served before a decision can be enforced by certain means. The amendments also provide a party may only apply to have a decision of the sheriff recalled once in a given case.\nParagraph 3 makes various minor corrections to the Act of Sederunt (Fatal Accident Inquiry Rules) 2017.\nParagraph 4 provides that certain amendments made by this Act of Sederunt only apply to a decision made in a simple procedure case on or after 15th June 2017.",
