Debt Recovery Claims
Recovering unpaid debts quickly can be essential for businesses and individuals alike.
The court procedure used in Scotland will often depend on the value of the claim.
Simple Procedure Claims
Where the debt is valued at less than £5,000, claims will commonly proceed under the Simple Procedure process in the Sheriff Court.
Simple Procedure cases are designed to provide a more streamlined process for lower-value claims.
Ordinary Cause Actions
Where the debt exceeds £5,000, an Ordinary Cause action may be required.
These claims are generally more formal and may involve more complex legal and evidential issues.
Our litigation team can advise on the most appropriate procedure and represent clients throughout the court process. Find out more about debt recovery.
