# The Rules of the Scottish Land Court Order 2014, Paragraph 114: Non-compliance with a rule or order


(1) If a party fails to comply with a rule or order of the court, the court may—
(a) in the event of failure by an applicant, dismiss the case or make such finding in favour of the respondent as it thinks appropriate;
(b) in the event of failure by a respondent, repel any pleas, objections or claims made by the respondent and grant the application or make an order in favour of the applicant as it thinks appropriate; or
(c) relieve the party from the consequences of the failure if the court considers it reasonable to do so, on such terms and conditions as to expenses or otherwise as it considers just.
(2) Where the court so relieves a party under paragraph (1)(c) it may pronounce such order as it thinks fit to enable the case to proceed as if the failure had not occurred.
(3) But the court is not to relieve a party, under paragraph (1)(c), from the consequences of a failure to comply with the time limits imposed by rule 64(3) or rule 83(1) unless satisfied that the failure is wholly attributable to some cause outwith the control of the party.
