Stop having fun

Bingham, T.

Stop having fun - 2005 - Building 270(8369) 18 February 2005, 52-53(2) .

Discusses the effect of new litigation rules in Scotland caused by the Act of Sederunt (Summary Cause Rules) 2002 and argues that they should apply to adjudication. The new rules stipulate that before coming to court the pursuer should have set out to the intended defender the nature of the claim and supplied any copies of any documents relied upon. The defender is then expected to respond by setting out the nature of the defence and its facts and legal grounds. Adjudication could use these concepts by fully investigating the issues prior to the raising of an action.
