Article 3 Exclusive competence of sheriffs: proceedings raised before 22nd September 2015I1

Despite the repeal of section 7 of the Sheriff Courts (Scotland) Act 1907^f1 (privative jurisdiction in causes under £5,000) by paragraph 4(a) of schedule 5 to the Act, that section continues to apply to proceedings raised before 22nd September 2015.

Accordingly, section 39 of the Act (exclusive competence) does not apply to such proceedings.

Despite the repeal of section 14 of the Law Reform (Miscellaneous Provisions) (Scotland) Act 1985 (remit from Court of Session to sheriff) by paragraph 25 of schedule 5 to the Act, that section continues to apply to proceedings raised before 22nd September 2015.

Accordingly, section 93 of the Act (remit of cases from the Court of Session) does not apply to such proceedings.
