Paragraph 27.8 Objections to fund or subject in medio

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

(1)

If objections to the fund or subject in medio have been lodged, the sheriff must, after disposal of any defence–

(a)

fix a hearing; and

(b)

state the order in which the claimants shall be heard at the hearing.

(2)

If no objections to the fund or subject in medio have been lodged, or if objections have been lodged and disposed of, the sheriff may approve the fund or subject and if appropriate find the holder liable only in one single payment.
