To ask the Scottish Executive whether it intends to increase the monetary limit of #750 applying to small claims actions in Scotland.
The Lord Advocate last year issued a Consultation Paper in relation to the jurisdiction limits in summary cause and small claim actions in the sheriff court.As a result of the consultation exercise I am currently considering advice proposing variations to the jurisdiction limits in these actions.An announcement will be made in due course.
