Paragraph 26.1A Remit and transfer of summary cause proceedings to all-Scotland sheriff courtF1

This rule applies where the sheriff directs that a summary cause is to be treated as an ordinary cause and, at the same time, makes an order transferring the action to the all-Scotland sheriff court.

The pursuer must lodge an initial writ and intimate it to every other party within 14 days of the date of the order.

The defender must lodge defences within 28 days after the date of the order.

Following the making of a direction and order mentioned in paragraph (1), the action is to be treated as a personal injuries action within the meaning of Part A1 of Chapter 36.
