This guide provides an introduction to Scottish court procedure for the benefit of claims handlers who, from time to time, are called upon to deal with Scottish cases.

We aim to provide a concise overview of the Scottish legal system, and to help answer questions such as:

  • How much will this cost us?
  • How long will it take to process this claim through the courts?
  • Can I instruct my own expert?
  • Can I see medical records / GP notes?
  • How much information can I have and when can I have it, to enable me to reserve as accurately and quickly as possible?

If you require further copies of this guide, or if we can help you in any other way, please get in contact with our Insurance team.
