SCTS explores new bulk submission service 

The Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service is exploring a possible new Application Programme Interface (API) service for raising Ordinary Actions in the Sheriff Court and All-Scotland Sheriff Personal Injury Court (ASSPIC).  

The service allows for bulk submissions of Initial Writs and would benefit those that do high volume ordinary cause business in the Sheriff Court and ASSPIC.

The second new service under consideration is the ability to allow bulk submission of documents to the Court of Session, Sheriff Court and ASSPIC. This would be for any action carried out at these locations. It would be open to Caveats and any part of process other than raising or defending an action.

Anyone interested in joining any of these services should contact Civil Online at civilonlinelab@scotcourts.gov.uk. Please include the name of solicitor company and the service you would like to join.
