Act of Sederunt (Taxation of Judicial Expenses Rules) (Amendment) 2026

The UK's Taxation of Judicial Expenses Rules have been amended through an Act of Sederunt in 2026.

This development is significant for practitioners as it updates the rules governing the taxation of judicial expenses, which may impact the financial burden on parties involved in legal proceedings. The amendments are likely to affect the way costs are allocated and taxed in Scottish courts.

The relevant statutes and regulations involved in this amendment include the Act of Sederunt (Taxation of Judicial Expenses Rules) 2019, which is being updated by the new Act of Sederunt. The court hierarchy in Scotland will also be impacted, as the changes may influence the way costs are managed at various levels of the Scottish courts.

Practitioners should monitor these changes to ensure they understand how the updated rules will affect their clients' cases and financial obligations.
