(This note is not part of the Act of Sederunt)
This Act of Sederunt amends rule 3.59 (appeals) of the Child Care and Maintenance Rules 1997 by:
-
(a) removing references to notes of appeal and substituting therefore references to applications for stated case; and
(b) removing the provision relating to the time period for making appeals under section 51(11) of the Children (Scotland) Act 1995 which was erroneously stated as 14 days (section 51(13) of the 1995 Act provides that such appeals must be made within 28 days beginning with the date of the decision appealed against).
