The forms you will use most often are -
for
summary cause actions for payment of sums
over £3,000 and up to £5,000
for small claim actions for payment of sums up to and including £3,000
You will find copies of these forms included in the Book of
Styles disc held in your office and generally this is what you
should use to prepare all your claims.
All sheriff courts hold supplies of all sheriff court forms
for issue to any party. If exceptionally you need to obtain forms
from the court ensure that you obtain the correct form of service
documents. There are various types of these documents some that
allow the defender to ask the court to grant a time to pay
direction (formerly an instalment decree). However under the
provisions of the Debtors (Scotland) Act 1987 Part1, Para 1(5)(d)
time to pay directions are not appropriate in actions by HMRC for
the payment of tax etc.
