Paragraph 10.1 Counterclaim

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

(1)

If a pursuer intends to oppose a counterclaim, he must lodge answers within seven days of the lodging of the form of response.

(2)

The pursuer must at the same time as lodging answers intimate a copy of any answers to every other party.

(3)

The defender may apply for warrant to arrest on the dependence of a counterclaim.

(4)

An application under paragraph (3) must be made by appending to the counterclaim the words “warrant for arrestment on the dependence applied for” and shall be granted by the sheriff clerk who receives the counterclaim by adding the words “Grants warrant as craved” and by authenticating the warrant in an appropriate manner.

(5)

Any such warrant shall have the like effect as it would have in any summons.
