Cross-Border Procedure: Choosing the Scots Forum

"Cross-Border Procedure: Choosing the Scots Forum" explains the opportunities available to the non-Scots lawyers in using the Scots forum, and the advantages it can often hold. In particular the remedies available can be very advantageous to litigators together with lower costs, fewer time limits and the possibility of immediate security relief granted automatically without the need for particular application to the Courts. The work compares the Scottish and English systems, sets out the advantages and disadvantages of each, explains clearly what options are available for the litigator in considering whether to bring an action in Scotland and discusses the time scales of all the various stages of the Scottish procedures. The work also contains a comprehensive selection of Scottish styles (precedents), and an extensive glossary of Scottish terms and an easy to use flow chart of the progress of a Scottish ordinary action.
