Time limits for making claims in Scotland: Time for a change
The law of prescription (which governs the time limits for claimants to begin court proceedings) has been in a state of flux for the last few years and it is widely recognised that there is an urgent need for clarity on the current state of affairs. A significant change to the law of prescription in Scotland is due to enter into force on 1 June 2022 in an attempt to provide balance and clarity to the application of the law.
