Simple procedure was established by Chapter 1 of Part 3 of the Courts Reform (Scotland) Act 2014.\nThe 2016 Order provides that expenses are not awardable where the value of a claim does not exceed £200. Article 2(2) amends that value from £200 to £300.\nThe 2016 Order provides that, where the value of a claim is between £200 and £1,500, the maximum sum awardable as expenses is £150. Article 2(3) amends the lower value of the claim from £200 to £300.\nArticle 3 provides that the amendments made by this Order do not affect any simple procedure case which was commenced prior to 1 April 2019.",
